What's Next: Life After PhD

 In my attempt to blog more I wanted to write about what my plans are for after my PhD.... 

Well I don't have any.. That's it, all done. Thank you and good night.... 

Seriously though, I honestly don't know. I'm pretty sure I don't want to be a University lecturer or stay in that type of academic route.  I don't mind doing workshops or seminars but I'm not sure I want to go back down the education route. This is the same reason that I don't want to return to teaching (been there, done that, wore the t-shirt, done the counselling). 

However, I do like researching so I would be interested in continuing with that.  I could potentially apply for a Post Doctorate or some kind of fellowship to give me some research funding, although what I want to research I'm not sure.  Do I continue with the local ladies? Do I spread it out and focus on a different part of the county? Do I look at women in a different context? Previously I have considered returning to transport and travel and potentially researching women's involvement in the bus industry.  It's definitely an option and it would be quite interesting.  It would certainly spruce up this blog. 

One thing I have thought about is, whatever I do, I need to get my name known. So that is my main focus this year. This is why this blog is going to be so important. I need to make sure I post more (and this goes for social media to... and not just inane waffle about football). 

I'm open for suggestions. so if anyone has any please let me know. 

In the meantime, I'm still trying to raise some funds for research trips so if you would like to "buy me a ko-fi" feel free to donate here. I will try to start blogging those  I'm planning to go to the hospital archive in the next few weeks so I will blog that trip. 

Best be getting back to the research.

Have Fun
