Careers Education and Development - J41
Joseph41:
Hello! I'm going to use this thread to document what I hope will be a nice little journey through further education. :)
I studied a Bachelor of Arts from 2013-15, and then Honours in 2016, but I haven't been at uni since. I'd like to do some study on the side, though (still work full-time), so my plan is to enrol in the Graduate Certificate in Careers Education and Development from RMIT University, which is one year part-time. The idea is to then continue to the Graduate Diploma, which will take another year part-time.
From what I can see, the next intake will be July this year, so that's what I'm planning for if all goes well (but there are several bridges to cross etc. before then).
Anyway, if that doesn't work out, I'd still like to enrol in further study at some point (PhD always in back of mind on unknown topic and for unknown reasons), so will use this same thread regardless to document how that progresses. :)

Omg I'm so excited to see this thread develop!
What made you decide to go back? And why Careers Education instead of continuing your studies in linguistics? (Perhaps I'm a bit biased towards linguistics because linguistics is such an interesting topic ;D)

Thanks! :)
I've developed a strong interest in careers and stuff over the last little while and would like to add another string to my bow, I guess. I also think I have the capacity to do it, so might as well pursue it while I can.
Linguistics - love the field, still want to continue studies in it at some point (see OP - PhD of unknown topic and for unknown reasons haha). But to do a PhD part time, for example (because I still want to work), that would take like eight years, be extremely expensive, and have limited if any benefit on what I'm doing at the moment, y'feel?

Ahh I get it- my dad's doing his PhD at the moment and he's trying to manage his time working and slowly chipping away at his PhD.
Although I am curious, what was your Honours thesis on? Like, psycholinguistics? Sociolinguistics? (I'd love to track down your thesis and have a read)
