    Alright I eat my words. PhDs are great things.

    But surely you can be successful and happy in life if a PhD is not in your abilities.

    Of course you can! A friend of mine earns just under £200k and has neither a masters nor a PhD. Yet another friend has a PhD (in music) and works as a teacher. They are very different people and the friend earning £200k wouldn't be able to work as a teacher and vice versa.

    There is so much more to life than qualifications and the sooner you realise that, the happier you will be.

    Thanks!! It seems people can get on without higher degrees.

    I am going to try to be happy after my degree and get on with life.
    I am going for a walk to see if I can feel better!!

    Take Care
