Am 23 yrs old Watching this while on my second trisemester for MBA and i tell you things get so overwhelming at some point i developed emotional breakdowns and was at verge deffering my studies..But i collected myself and said i got this..This journey is not going to be easy but am here till the end..Anyone on this journey keep pushing.Thanks Daktari❤

I agree with you Lindah, it can be challenging pursuing a PhD in any field because the research work is intensive. For anyone planning on taking it on, be mentally prepared. As a lady pursuing a PhD in Engineering in my late 20s, the feeling of being isolated is real considering we are social beings. I would still encourage anyone to pursue a PhD if they're in a position to. Other than choosing a research area of your interest, do good background research before choosing your supervisor because in most institutions your supervisor is the one person who can influence how fast you complete your study. Also, as much as you're choosing a research topic of your interest, ensure you are choosing an area with great future prospects because you do not want to be halfway through the process and then realize whatever research you are doing might not be worth the effort (not implying that the work is useless but its more encouraging if you are doing something that can contribute to a better society, policy, new tech etc and most importantly your financial or job gains).

Thankyou for this segment Dr. Lindah. You're so motivating and inspiring. #Daktrisquad

I graduated with my MBA in 2017 and a friend of mine was "pressuring" me to do PhD but when I saw the kind of stress she was going through, I said naaah. Hio PhD limpeleka mbio sana. I had to always console her whenever she would breakdown. So, respect to you Dr. Lindah and to my friend for undertaking a PhD.

I have a friend in the US who finished her phd last year. She is now I believe an adjunct professor in Statistics. She did her phd while raising 4 kids, I think the oldest is like 10 years. She has no househelp and her only family in the States is her husband. I don't know how she did it, but she did.

Imagine it's possible if you put your mind on it. I am currently pursuing my PhD. in Germany while taking care of my son without any help since my hubby is in Kenya. I was newly married and pregnant when I went to pursue my master's in Belgium after being awarded a scholarship. When I was almost due I went back to Kenya gave birth, left my son with my mum, and then went back to Belgium to finish my master's. After I was done with the master's, I went back to Kenya since my son was very young and my mum, who was taking care of him, had passed away. I stayed for a few years, and then I was awarded a scholarship to pursue a PhD. in Germany, where I am currently based with my son. Hopefully, my hubby will join us next year.

You are so amazing and I'm here for it Daktari Squad is lit🧡

Watching this as a MA dropout and am seriously encouraged to go back and finish up. But i wish i joined a private University, because so far i have seen it ALL.

This is an inspiration Dr Lindah..... have just come across your videos today... it's such a motivation....am pursuing my masters...so far so good...i believe i will make it......but at the beginning everything I felt was hard for me.....work and studies......i was almost to a point of quitting.....but what i have realized there is nothing good like studying while young.... have seen people struggling especially those age have gone abit.....but am 23...very much optimistic... soon I will be a masters holder and still come back for PHD....that title is awesome for sure ❤

As someone who's pursuing a PhD at the moment, I really lol'd when you did the "I should be writing" meme. I should be writing instead of watching youtube, but here we are :). I have profound respect for anyone who has completed their doctorate just knowing how hard it is. The fact that you did all of that while glowing makes it that much awesome. Nice video Daktari!

I am here for her skin. I am in awe.

My engineering journey was just a journey and a half. It is something I am very much passionate about. But, I wish I had someone to at least advise me on what I was getting myself into. So going forward I made it my personal mission to educate young people on all the different things that come with pursuing engineering.

The point of imposter syndrome and dealing with supervisors can be hectic. i have 4 supervisors for my PhD and 3 of them are all amazing and they do the work of guiding me, for the other one I just decided to overlook. My social aspect was actually affected after joining MSc, not that I didn't have time but my friends started started feeling uncomfortable after I joined for Masters barely a year after my undergraduate graduation, their environment was filled with negativity and i had to cut myself , and make new company of friends.

Lindaaaaaaa😚

I finished my MA in 2022. I can relate with all what you have highlighted. It was tough. I need a lot of encouragement if I'm to go further.

I am an Undergraduate, Senior Year (Final Year) Student at USIU-Africa, and there's this particular course that students pursuing International Relations must do. It's called Senior Project. So basically, what it entails is writing a whole booklet entailing research and proof of a topic of one's choice. It was very intense to the point one of my classmates literally cried because she felt as if she wasn't cut out for it. Long story short, 25% of the class aced it, and the rest are between the average and poorly performed margin. I'm on the Dean's List, been on it since I joined USIU-Africa. It hasn't been easy, neither will it ever be, but if I could do it, then anyone can.

Based on my experience, I strongly advise thoroughly discussing all the different models, methods, and techniques for the research methodology chapter. Justify your reasons for not selecting certain approaches and provide a robust justification for the choices you made. This comprehensive approach will effectively eliminate any potential gaps that examiners might use to challenge your work. Taking this precaution will enhance the strength of your research methodology and increase the credibility of your study.

PhD supervisors play a significant role in guiding and supporting your research journey, and their expertise is invaluable. However, it's crucial to remember as you said that you are the expert in your own work. Self-drive and self-motivation are essential for success. While supervisors offer valuable motivation and guidance, ultimately, you are responsible for driving your research forward and taking ownership of your work. Balancing their guidance with your self-initiative will lead to a more fruitful and fulfilling PhD experience.

Thank you for sharing your experiences; they are truly valuable and inspiring! In the epic odyssey of my PhD journey, I've also experienced the exhilarating highs and challenging lows of a thrilling rollercoaster ride. Two weeks ago, the manuscript rejection hit hard, echoing emotions akin to heartbreak. Yet, within these moments of vulnerability lies an invaluable source of strength and growth. With each passing day, I embrace the opportunity to expand my knowledge and accumulate a vast array of skills and values. This journey has become an empowering teacher of resilience, unveiling my capacity to weather storms and emerge even stronger. I've honed the art of creative problem-solving, transforming obstacles into stepping stones towards success. As I continue this extraordinary expedition, I am filled with gratitude for the transformative lessons it imparts. I am no longer a passive passenger on this rollercoaster; I am the fearless navigator, steering my destiny with purpose and determination. Every challenge I overcome, every skill I acquire, brings me closer to the pinnacle of achievement. In moments of doubt, I remind myself that greatness lies within the depths of perseverance. Each step I take is a testament to my unwavering commitment to excellence. I am not merely a participant; I am the author of this narrative, and I hold the pen to write my own triumphant ending.

What advice would you give someone trying to pursue a PhD without having experience of work? , say they are doing an academic degree?
