· 34 min · Season 2 Episode 3

Show notes

In this episode of "Leap with Japa," we explore the complexities of pursuing a PhD while working full-time. Drawing from my journey, I discuss the importance of ensuring your PhD program waives unnecessary master's courses, mastering time management, securing employer approval, and synchronizing between work and academic advisors. We also delve into self-care, mental health, and maintaining motivation. I share my current crossroads decision, contemplating withdrawing from my PhD program due to the lack of course waivers. I emphasize that it's okay to reassess and prioritize your well-being.
