Love the realistic approach of the video. While a lot of us have struggled with the career objectives, tis rather important to establish your own personal goals/objectives. As someone who has spent over a decade in the tech industry, I know a future in academia is a no-no for me post PhD. Becoming a scientist of great impact requires one to apply his/her skills in industry. Also I have heard this from a lot of academics; publish or perish. The need to always establish theoretical breakthroughs in high by writing and writing. Hope to get into a PhD in the coming year (AI). Great video man!
Woooow Chibili!! thank you so much for your kind words it honestly fills me with so much Joy! You have pretty much said it all and summarised it so beautifully. You seems like you know what your are getting yourself into (haha), and have so much experience. Having that awareness and personal goal is so important to keep yourself motivated and on track. I wish you all the best with your application. I believe in you! Go and secure that PhD in AI its waiting for you :)
Tumela = Hi,..Titus from South Africa, thank you Samuel..I really loved the video, it's motivational/inspiring...I am in the process of applying for a PhD program at Cambridge,..I've been doubting myself along the way, this vlog just gave me the boost I needed. Reminded me of the reasons why I want to do a PhD.Thank You🙌🏽🙌🏽
Tumela Titus!! 😊 honestly thank you so much for this message means a lot to me!! Honestly please apply believe me when I say it as long as you are have the passion, the drive, enthusiastic about your research, you are more than good enough. Sometimes that self doubt kicks in but it’s so important to remind ourselves why we want to do this, our driving force and motivation!! You’ve got this Tumela! I wish you all the best! 😊🙏🏾
Your videos have been inspiring Samuel. I will be starting my PhD soon in an industry and just to mention, your video on PhD interview preparation was indeed helpful. Watching this video has triggered that urge within me to rethink the very reason I want to undertake an industrial PhD in the first place. I must say Samuel, you are already making positive impacts
Kingsley!! Thank you so much for your kind words it means a lot to me! I wish you all the best as you embark on your PhD journey. It is so important to always remember the WHY and reflect upon it all the time not to get lost! I wish I did that earlier on, cause it would have definitely reduced my stress levels!!
Hi, I’m an undergrad student in South Korea, applying for master’s in UK this year! Thank you so much for all your videos, they’ve been very helpful :)
Hi I really love your videos (and this might just be some unsolicited advice lol) but could you make the music more quieter on your videos, it's probably just me but I find it a little distracting from your inspirational words. Much love though still :)
Hi Fatima!! Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your feedback, I will definitely take that on board cause I want to improve and I want to get better! 😊 I will definitely take it out for the main videos/reduce it drastically!! I always just don’t like hearing my voice only 😂😂😂 but it’s a personal thing. Your not the first to bring this up so i will definitely address it! 😊
