ohiofarmer 3,414 #1 Posted 23 hours ago Proud papa here. My daughter defended her dissertation two weeks ago and earned her doctorate in higher education. No she will not become a professor in all likelihood.. She is employed by the university and does research projects as directed by them. She loves her job and is getting good feedback and appreciation from her group. She is living in Ann Arbor so we see her when we can. As always Go Blue!! 7 3 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oliver2-44 11,463 #3 Posted 23 hours ago That"s a huge accomplishment and a Gorrila off her back. My wife was at the 6 year mark when she defended her Dissertation. (Stressful times with 3 kids in the house) 7 years is the limit from starting Doctorial course work. My wife went the Teaching - Professor route instead of the Research route. . 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here. burning the candle at both ends. I went to the oral defense of the dissertation. Brutal questions. She was a little shook at first but finished strong.She had some huge stress in her personal life and we were holding our breath . Friday is our Golden anniversary and have to attend a funeral. So its always something. The secret of a long marriage is finding a lady who will put up with your faults....and a barn full of Wheel Horses 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
