Book Cover & Preview Text
Considering the Journey – One Doctor’s Perspective is a book that reveals the experiences and perspectives from one doctor’s viewpoints of what is referred to as the “Doctoral Journey”. The idea for writing this book came from many conversations with students, friends, and perspective doctoral candidates that were considering pursuing a doctorate or PhD degree but had no idea of what to expect. What I have found out from these conversations is that there is a lot that is not commonly known about the process to attain this level of education. The majority of people that ask that question had no idea of what to expect. Many seemed very surprised when I told them what I had gone through to achieve this degree. I’ve also realized that many of the people in the doctoral or PhD program had no idea of what they were actually themselves getting into when they enrolled in a program.
