Can I do a PhD alongside a full-time job? - Quora.
As far as working full-time, sure, it can be done. It will be extremely difficult and it may be a challenge to convince an advisor to work with you. A PhD is hard enough doing it full-time. Part timers seem to take 7-9 years in my field and finish with fewer publications.
I just defended my PhD thesis doing full time grad-school and full time work, so it is possible! But it is certainly not easy. I was able to make it happen by getting permission from my client at work to publish what I did for him toward a PhD.
Doing a PhD while raising kids. During my own PhD, I had few other responsibilities. I was teaching martial arts and was training 6 days a week, but this was routine, predictable stuff that I could easily manage (it actually probably helped with the PhD because I had an escape).
Time management can be a challenge when you are juggling work and school. Whether you are working to put yourself through college or you are someone who is going back to school to advance your current career, managing time in your professional and academic life is no easy task, especially when you have additional responsibilities competing for your time, such as raising children.
Part-time work while you study. Even if you choose to study full time, you can still help to fund your studies by taking on a part-time job. Many students opt for this method, fitting work around their studies and working longer hours during the holiday periods. Off campus you could take on bar, restaurant, retail or promotions work.
I’ve heard from some of my doctoral colleagues that it is difficult. Even more difficult is working FULL-time while in a full-time doctoral program. I and quite a few of the students in my cohort worked full-time. Our doctoral program was consider.
Hi, i was looking to see if anyone has been a position where they were working full time whilst doing their masters dissertation? And if so if they managed it? The only way financially i can do a masters if i work full time from at least June onwards. I would aim to get as much done as I could before working but im aware it may not be possible.
