I would love to... my training is in public health, specializing in Human Nutrition. I constantly feel like i'm stuck with academia or working for the government... I don't mind the latter, I mind it's pay scale.
Hi Nophiwe. You don't have to feel stuck. It sounds like your experiences would be well-suited for industry. We work with a number of public health (and cognate field) PhDs in our Association. Have you looked into the resources we offer? You can learn more about us here: phdsgethired.com. We actually have enrollment open for our Association right now.
I am a postdoc in a college and have been going through exactly what you mentioned on this video and.. I.. I can’t find words to thank you for changing my mindset and opening my eyes. Thank you so much. God bless you.
Wow...sounds like your Phd/post-doc experience was much like my general surgery residency experience. Good to know there is hope outside of academia and clinical practice.
Absolutely, the supportive community has been valuable to so many PhDs! You can find out more here: ://cheekyscientist.com/association-learn-more/ and stay tuned for new updates coming soon!

Ok, I got that pursuing academic career in US is not a good idea. But what is that academic mindset one have to get rid of? Isn't it more then just 7:09 4 things that keep one stuck?
You're right, it's the entire academic mindset keeping PhDs stuck. These are 4 common examples of limiting beliefs that we see PhDs telling themselves that are making them feel stuck. For you it might be another thought about how you are not qualified for a position in industry or that you think leaving academia is a failure. Getting rid of your academic mindset is about removing those limiting beliefs and being confident going after the industry job you want. What limiting beliefs do you think are holding you back?
@@CheekyScientist how to get a job in industry with my academic background? Or UN background. Please, talk about the UN systèm compare to academia and industry. Thks.
First of all thank you for your valuable suggestions. At present I am pursuing PhD and I came to hear that PhDs are a lot theoretical rather than practical, coming up with fantasy and non implementable ideas. So industries won't hire them. Could you please tell me your opinion over this.
You have no idea how much healing you're bringing to me right now! You have no idea. Thank You.
We appreciate hearing this, Nophiwe. I hope that you are doing well. Are you looking to transition into industry?
