How old were you - starting the phd?
P

do you think 25-29, starting a professional career is normal? like i havent worked before, im not ageist and admire people and have lots of friends who've worked and then went on to phd.

However, I haven't really worked, so 25-29, working on a profession i.e. with a phd to become a lecturer. my relatives think, omg, are you still in college, your just lazy and don't want to work? (its really discourging when you know you're working nearly 24-7 studying) I've done supervision in a secondary school for the year, but not teaching.

i did 5 years of college straight in a row after school, and in my 5th yr for the masters, it was becoming more and more difficult to concentrate for more than 20 mins, i didnt finish the masters but i will be next yr and even now at the moment, i can just about concentrate for 20 mins without feeling overloaded...help! anyone else experience this? had low iron last year, not sure if its a contributing factor. But its been getting me down and ive a million things on my mind which i cant stop worrying about (distractions ease it)....between inability to concentrate and wanting to snuggle up with a warm blanket and bouts of sleeping loads, and bouts of feeling completely exhausted, im trying to fight it - but failing miserably and I feel I'm screwed before I've even started to start the masters again next year!?!

Plus my supervisor hates me
