I don’t have a masters, just a bachelors. My school basically requires you to have a masters degree to get a PhD, which I would be 1000% willing to do if I had financial support. I think it is unlikely that I would get any kind of help from the school considering my GPA when I left (~2.8) and that I for certain pissed off instructors I would be working with. I had trouble the last few semesters because I was running out of money all the time and couldn’t really focus.
Also, I literally don’t have the money to fill out the application for a masters degree. I literally have about $3. My parents won’t give me the money for that because they want me to get a job. I have applied for well over a hundred positions, and had zero offers and about four total interviews.
Like I would be literally thrilled to go back to school, but I would be surprised if the school were interested in helping me. So as I write this out, I’m realizing that it’s not just a money issue…
What’s your degree in? And general location? I might be able to help you out.
Edit to add: Just keep spamming applications. It’s incredibly hard to get your foot in the door, but it’s a numbers game. Eventually you’ll get an interview, do well and get hired. Hang in there, friend
I don’t know of anything in New Jersey, but upstate NY, Arizona and Oregon are available as far as I know. I think there’s some positions near Austin as well. If you’re willing to relocate or just want to do someore targeted applications let me know.
Umm.
PhDs in things like engineering are typically fully funded. They paid me while I did mine. It’s not much, but it’s enough to live on.
Art history, sure, you pay for yourself.
In STEM, you would get an RA or at least a TA.
