Hi Fluffymonster

Thanks for the reply .Mind if I ask your advice?

Hello All

Apologies for the title wanted to grab your attention I am just wondering is doing PhD and a career in academia really that BAD! I mean I dnt think ive read a single person who enjoys it or is glad they decided to pursue this route. For individuals such as myself debating on going into a career in lecturing (marketing) it really puts you off.

Would you recommend going into it? or would you tell me to not even bother

Hi there

I graduated in 2005 with a 2.1 in marketing and computer science. I have been working behind a desk in an organisation for two years now and I hate it!.No interaction with anyone but my computer!
I am seriously considering a career in lecturing and wanted to get opinions about it. I was thinking of undertaking a PhD in marketing. I had an interest in this at uni and I loved my marketing department.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated life? job prospects? quality of life? starting salary what teaching is like downsides?

Thanks!
