    I loved doing my intrinsic interest phd in my late 40s/early 50s which I did partly to gain the expertise to do a startup, but it inadvertently lead to an academic career which has been soul destroying. Under the thumb of ruthless autocrats, the sort of job I could get was nothing like the intellectual independence of a phd. If I could get a job doing something like a phd, I would! So I'd like to do a 2nd IFF I could get a 2nd scholarship which doesn't look likely. What I'd really like to do is an entrepreneurial phd, where you get the support to do your startup, but I don't think that exists.

    Tara until listening to your story I thought I was the luckiest with my supervisors! Now I think we should co edit book on our supervisors :-) My first MA supervisor destroyed my grades to sabotage me not to write truth arguments on Bosnian War as he was working on my country policies and writing everything opposite of the truths. My phd supervisor is missing and in parallel to phd I did second MA where my supervisor changed my topic on Ukrainian war when I summited it to protect me form commission that was sold, and I thought he is sold too and does not want me to write truths so I persisted on my regular topic and I was punished by the grade. I will just tell you that whole thesis was analysis, from the fist line to the last, and one commission member was telling me " there is no analysis" so the two supervisors collided , while the third excused herself to leave as we already had arguments on the class and when she learned my phd is on that topic and its my native language she stopped circulating the half-truths ! I think I will write book or better make a movie on supervisors only!

    Thank you very much for this video. I received my examiner's corrections recently and could not understand the polarising comments between the two examiners. After much thinking, I came to the conclusion that one examiner did not grasp what my work was about. The examiner was constantly commenting on something particular that my research was not addressing. After 5 days of trying to understand the examiner's perspective, I came to the conclusion that the examiner's expectation of my research might be at fault. The examiner was expecting something that my work was not researching and could not deliver. Having it confirmed by you as number 10, the big split between the examiners, makes me think that I was not so wrong in my assumption. Of course, I also did the big mistake (as until today I did not know), that I had to specify in my introduction what my thesis will not address! I will follow your recommendations and hopefully these changes will be enough to appease the examiner and make my thesis clearer to the reader.

    Definitely important to know how to select a supervisor. Check the profile for publication each year, but also does anyone from their own group publish papers, or just the big boss' name on publications (red red flag)?
