I agree that great comment. Drudgery is relative, however, and it depends on
personal perceptions of ones 'illustrious career'. So far, for me, the PhD
has provided a fascinating out-let in an otherwise hectic and hard working
business life (albeit generally full of drudge !). One piece of advice that
has stayed with me is that when planning to do anything relating to a PhD,
estimate how long you think the activity will take............. then double
it and add an order of magnitude. What you think will take 1 day, will
probably take 2 weeks. At least if you are aware of this, planning becomes a
little more realistic.
