You may have to go deeper into this situation. Adjunct instructors significantly contribute to lowering the higher educational system in the USA. They are cheap laborers willing to work in the worst conditions with no prospective advancement. Why: because they are taking the jobs of PhDs. They are like strike-breakers. The recommendation given here from this person is absurd. He should say: if you have a master's degree, go and find a job according to your credentials. English teachers, for example: if you have a master's degree in English, get certified, and find a full-time job according to your credentials, i.e., in a high school. Do not contribute to the destruction of higher education. A Ph.D. has another level of training significantly better suited to teaching graduate and undergraduate classes; in general, university students are interested in learning from a real university faculty, not from the same teacher they had in high school. All the adjuncts in my university (more than fifty percent of the faculty) are now trying to get the same benefits as a full-time faculty. A full-time faculty lucky enough to get such a position must have a PhD simply because they spent much more money and time preparing themselves than someone with a Master's did. If you don't have a PhD and want to teach and contribute to improving the educational system in the USA, go and teach in a high school. Plenty of them are desperately searching for teachers, so don't take jobs you don't have the credentials for, forcing Ph.D. to search for jobs in other areas.

I love all 7 of these. I’m definitely using most of them already. However, I need to be more consistent on posting content now that I want more coaching and consulting opportunities. Thank you for this video and the newsletter this week that directed me here. ❤

First of all you are so right about career coaching being less accessible that it should especially for academic jobs and graduate students overall. Second of all, I’m offended that someone who take the time to comment of a professional woman’s make up in a space like this (or at all really). Very inappropriate and says more about their own insecurities! You are an expert and should be treated as such. 👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

So true. I was also guilty of this as an assistant professor but I think it’s the culture of the academy. We are told we are not quite good enough in so many subtle ways.

My caveat to this is…. As long as the job that’s pays the bills doesn’t also steal your joy. So many people are miserable in their jobs and there can be a middle ground. Btw, I love your content and have to go back and watch more. You’ve been missing on my feed for a while. ❤

I’ve been trying to make sense of this in my mind and you explain it so well

Oh gosh! This is me, but I find myself wanting to give up my PhD studies to pursue these alternative passions.

I identify with the multiportfolio career concept. I used to know it as a multipotentialite and have always loved the idea of being a man of many talents. Thanks for sharing your insights with us,Dr. Gee.

Congrats Gertrude!

Thank you for watching. This is a different video than I usually do. I still hope it was one you enjoyed.

How much hour per month you doing teaching per week?

Oh no red lip is not for you

Thanks!

Hi Getrude, Thank you for sharing this information, truly an eye opener. I have a Masters in Clinical Trials with a background in Medicine and I am interested in working in Academic Advising.

Thanks for sharing, Dr. Gee. I really needed this information.

Hey Gertrude could you help me finish my PhD

Thanks for sharing it with us. Onde of the main things that stuck with me is putting limits and secure the time to do your thing. Attending other people's necessities ends up to lack of energy and mental space to tackle our own work. So lovely.😀

Dr. Gertrude, would you be able to tell us what criteria did Adit go for on her application?

Let me tell you, I just found your channel. It is is exactly what I am LOOKING for. I work with political appointees and executives at the highest level of government. Your advice is GOLD. Can't wait to implement some of it.

Thank you for sharing this

Great review! Thank you. I learned lessons about the natural pace of work the hard way. I wanted to rush a big project, but I'm so glad it evolved at a much more natural pace. It is much stronger than it would have been had I finished it earlier. Looking forward to more of your book reviews.

Ooh! I LOVE the idea of a book club! 💝

I hold a bpharm degree from india suggest some course or certification which help me to get the job in regulatory affairs thank you

I have not but I will. I’m new to this channel. Thanks so much.

Thank you for watching! Have you read Slow Productivity? Will you be adding this to your reading list?

I was pregnant with my first child while doing phd. Finished the first draft and gave birth. Gave my second draft while looking after the baby and doing all chores with no help. Reworking my second and pregnant with second again. It’s difficult but God is good all the time. He provides the strength to go forward

Thank you, Dr. Gertrude Nonterah, this was really insightful

A great piece advice I did not mention in this video is how AI tools/automation can help PhD students win even more! Let me know if this is a topic I should make more videos about.

Thank you for sharing these very valuable information and tips G. ✨

Thanks for watching! Let me know which of these lessons resonated the most with you. Don't forget to like the video and subscribe!

Aditi is not to the point,she is going round and round.

Hmmm I'm already 46. Been working for 20years in Nigeria I'm presently in Canada. I want to go for Masters and PhD. Yes feel old but I am like better now than never.

I loved hearing that he was a "bad writer" during the dissertation phase . Then he decided to make a change by studying the craft of writing. Then he started "Done Dissertation" how inspiring.

I really appreciate your videos as someone interested in biotech and STRESSING about the future THANK YOU 🙏

Bull shit

Good video

This is such a useful video. Thank you very much, Gertrude.

hey, I am a non-medical person with a Master’s in Marketing, and I have been working in content writing and research for over 10 years. My experience includes SEO, blogs, copywriting, marketing content, and nearly all types of writing-related tasks. Can I pursue a career in medical writing with my hands-on writing experience? Will this field be as open to me as it is to someone with a medical background? Thank you in advance for your sincere advice.

Aditi who was your immigration lawyer?

I am entering my 2,nd year phd and just found out i am pregnant

Hi Dr. Nonterah, Great video and on to the point. I’m a medical doctor and I would like to start my own business of freelance medical writing. I have good writing skills, but I don’t know from where to start and how to launch my own business and get clients. I would like to be well prepared for that. If you can help me with this, it would be great.

Love it 🙏

People only think of things on their side, e.g. "*I'll* compromise my comfort zone", "they'll exclude *me*", "I'd go out of *my* way to network". No one would ever talk to anyone else is everyone reasons like that!! Good opportunities are worth the risk!

OK, you list science writing, which you are more likely to get into with something like an English degree, and then four jobs, all of which require substantial education beyond a bachelors.

My girl is graduation shortly and her degree is Bachelor of English Honors. She's interested in PR. Could you help with a video that can come up with options so she continues to study whilst she doesn't lose her Indian F1 visa status and also get into a part time job that gives her hands on experience with the PR and help her to become a specialist.

Thank you for this. I was just accepted into the Phd program for Public Administration and this info helps alot!

Hi Dr. Thanks for your efforts

well I dont have a phd, can I break into medical writing? Will I get my promotion after gaining experience? is PhD really mandatory for a career growth in medical writing ?
