Pausing at 4:16 it would be glorious if you could do a serie of videos on turtoring actually, like basics, refreshing knowledge for yourself beforehand, learning and trying to implement modern teaching theories for turtoring, how to discover and deal with knowledge gaps, preparing for homework, home studies and presentations, proofs, and whatever is needed in the schoolyear, getting ready for finals, maybe even some math for work refreshment sessions or something. Just a few ideas that i would consider interesting from your perspective and experience. Lecturing is an interesting point you bring up, here in slovenia it is customary for phd candidates to get employed by the unis to cover assistant share of teaching and grading and the rest of work. Thanks for the video, i liked it :D

I appreciate your advice so much! I'm more than halfway through my PhD and I'm not happy about my performance thus far but I decided to take a step back and a deep breath and just do baby steps. Money became an issue recently and I've been distracting myself with trying to get income. I'm glad you made this video!

Thanks very much for this invaluable advice!

This is so helpful. I have been so worries about finding additional income doing a PhD. I am planning on applying soon, so this is extremely helpful. ❤

It was hard to find at first, but i house sit/ dog sit and that has made me good side income

How come you know everything! It’s amazing all the knowledge/ advice you have

You always have the best content.

very good vlog. thank you Sir.

Thank you Andy for this video. I'm a final year PhD student, hustling to speeden up and accelerate my journey.

User testing was so weird. I did it for a year or so and it seemed to always want me to be a CEO or other executive. It was also strange that I had to BE planning a wedding let’s say as opposed to drawing on my experience from planning my wedding. It’s all about the hidden advertising. I ended up taking up tutoring and it has been a solid stream of part-time income

Amazing.

exactly , I'm doing my PhD and doing part-time job which is very hard thing to manage

Great stuff. I'll be starting my PhD mid next year and I just keep watching your videos to prepare myself. Thanks a lot Dr. Andy for the great content. Really helps! You touch on the little details, which are very useful and significant to a PhD student.

Ugh. I'm struggling with balancing side jobs right now. I don't think I can do it next term, which will be a huge financial struggle since it'll be tax season. 😪

I would like to see a video on 1 on 1 tutoring!

thank you for the youtube channel may i ask if you this question if you have time ? is it possible to work as a school teacher(full time ) and doing a PhD in the same time?

In India, the we have an exam called- NET/JRF . If we qualify for jrf, the government provides fellowship to students every month who enroll in Ph.D. and i also have qualified for that too😀😀

Congratulations on qualifying! I come from India as well. He's trying to say passive income besides regular stipend or funding. I personally demonstrate labs at the university of Birmingham. Personally, what I feel is this sort experience really Good and also it's more like a brush up knowledge or can be useful in learning new techniques which were not taught during our study period.

@@marvelsushanth5819 yeah, i agree with you my friend😄 The Ph.D. experience teaches us so many things that we would never have been able to know. By the way what studies are you in right now?

I wonder if I should accept this PhD offer since my only stipend will be through working for 2 positions as a TA for 2 semesters aside from my full time PhD and one semester as a RA with my professor. I feel working for 3 jobs is too much. What is your advice?

I was offered a 23k scholarship for a 55k doctorate. Buy I deferred the offer until getting a full Fulbright scholarship. Do you think I did the best choice? It would have been feasible to get the lacking money in an ultra expensive and competitive city as NYC for a 1st year doctoral student? Magnificent video by the way. Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia

Yup I tutor 4-5 people per day and Purdue staff hate that I have a side income. I wasn’t about to give up my earnings for a school!

How did you me across youtube ? Was it an advertising method for yourself?

I'm pursuing my PhD in Taiwan. and work part-time as a science teacher at an international elementary school. I am totally self-reliant, with no other assistance. I'm still confused about my decision to work as an ele school teacher. I occasionally wished I hadn't quit my part-time RA work at the famous national research institute, AS, TW. I felt exploited since I worked for hours but was paid very little. When I saw my other classmates doing well by teaching English at cram school. I was so dissatisfied with myself for breaking my head for the RA while getting three times less than them. So I resigned and took a job that was completely unrelated to my passion in order to survive. Despite the fact that I am now earning 22 hours per month as a teacher, which is equivalent to 80 hours per month, I feel I am degrading my professional values. So I'm wondering if I'm on the correct track.

Just a curious question guys! Is this also applicable to schools in the USA? Can a PHD student do other work while on the school full funding program???

Another golden video. You covered exam marking in the latter part of the PhD period, are there also opportunties for those of us in the humanities and behavioral sciences to mark undergraduate essays in one's discipline area?

Yes, you should be able to find lecturers who want to offload their undergraduate marking. Approach academics in your department to see if they are interested in outsourcing.Even if it is a no right now they will have you in the back of their minds for the future.

@@DrAndyStapleton Thanks Andy

Do you not recommend working full time while doing a PhD(I would be getting a history PhD)

I was able to earn my PhD (Law) - doing this part-time, albeit completing it in 3.5 years; while working full time. I was even able to complete a Masters in Bioethics while completing my PhD.

This is an invaluable Vlog Dr Andy, I’m in the last 6 months of my write up stage of my PhD and the biggest struggle has been juggling full time work and writing up my thesis, but the hustling actually helps you live and in my case pay fees etc in the UK. I lecture part time at the Sorbonne University in Abu Dhabi now and it also makes you feel like an academic to be doing side hustles in a uni. Thanks for your uploads.

But the funding institution says we are not eligible to have any other income source than the fellowship.

Depends on the school

I am a professional public speaker and specialise in speech crafting and I do this as my hobby. I am currently doing my Masters along with a full time job in UK. I am already exhausted. I will be starting my PhD. soon. This is invaluable advice for me. Do you have an idea how do I monetise this skill of mine?

Thanks for sharing, please do a detailed video on tuotring.

Really useful and practical advice, as always, Andy! My twopenneth for people not on scolarships! I wouldn't say this is a recommendation, but just to let people know, it is possible! I funded my life and my studies myself by doing a full time job that was nothing to do with my studies. I paid my fees out of my wages and did my 2 B.A.s and 4 M.A.s all in totally different subjects, at evening classes. One was even in science - no lab, so all field work! Except to attend lectures, I had no interaction with the Universities at all. I discovered it wasn't really possible to do a PhD whilst working full time (I had a 6 hours a day commute to and from work to factor in, too). So I have waited until I am retired. The luxury of having plenty of time to study is such a joy. I am still distance learning but now we have the internet to use to find information it makes so much difference to having to rush into bookshops in my lunch hour and buy books I thought night be useful. I think my comment is, don't let finance get in the way of learning. The mindset is to be a student with a job, not a worker doing classes! Now, I'm not a retired pensioner, I'm a full time student! Good luck everyone and thanks so much Andy. Your videos really really help.

Sir, your eyes are so googly they make you look cartoonish.
