Hi to anybody willing to listen,
I am coming to the end of my 4th year of my PhD and there is not end in sight. I have taken so many wrong turns and though I have my PhD quite well mapped out, I am really struggling to write it up. I am currently writing my theory chapter for the 3rd time. Since I have changed direction I am pretty much starting this chapter from scratch. I am, however having chronic writers block and having already taken 2 weeks off, it is not lifting. I am considering for the first time in 4 years of quitting. But if I leave I have few options and nothing to show for my 4 years. I am in my 30s and married. My wife has a crap job, and I have little experience outside academia. Does anybody have any advice?
