I really can't say. I wouldn't want to think I'd put you off doing a PhD if that's really the best thing for you, but I can't judge if it would be. Only you can judge that, and all I'm trying to do is give you more information about what it is like. I'm really pleased I did a PhD, but it really isn't for everyone, it really is hard, and it really might not be of value to you.

But it might be. Weigh the possibilities. By all means start to apply the discipline you would need to start some self-study and see where it goes.

And whatever you decide, good luck!

You are not putting me off because i have been thinking about it hence the reason i decided to post it.

I will be applying to a University in Australia, New Zealand or Canada. Also it has to be on scholarship which i read is quite competitive.

Thank you for all the information, i will be looking at all options closely. Thank you again.
