Are you asking yourself, “Am I too young or too old to start a PhD program?” The answer is: no. If you’re apprehensive about pursuing a PhD program because of your age, there are factors that can hinder or support your progress.
In this video, I will make some comparisons between starting a PhD program straight from an undergrad program and diving into it at a riper age. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

교수님 작년에 우연히 교수님 채널을 알게 되면서 감사하게 시청하고 있습니다. 저는 박사학위까지는 생각해본적도, 생각도 할 수 없지만, 40 중반에 캐나다에서 상담 Master과정을 도전해서 올해 겨우 졸업했습니다. 대학원을 가자는 결정을 하기 전까지 저를 가장 힘들 때 했던 것은 경제적인 문제도 당연했지만 무엇보다도 나이와 영어였던 것 같습니다. 제가 사실 커피 자신있게 준비할 영어 실력도 없이 이민을 왔었거든요. 남들보다 오래 걸리고 힘든 과정이었지만 이제 마치고 보니 참 잘했다는 생각이 들어서, 혹시라도 이 방송 들으면서 나이 때문에 망설이는 분들이 계시면 교수님 말씀 들으시면서 용기 더 많이 내시라고 말씀드리고 싶어서 답글 남깁니다 :)
이렇게 정성스럽게 글 남겨주셔서 고맙습니다. 석사 무사히 마치신것 축하드려요...나이때문에 공부하고 싶은 꿈을 많이 접는 분들이 많아서 안타까운 마음에 이 영상을 만들게 되었어요. 나이 생각하지 말고 정말 하고 싶은 공부가 있다면 하루라도 빨리 시작하는 것이 행복하게 사는 지름길인 것 같습니다. 성인이 되어서 유학을 나온 사람들은 모두 영어 어려워해요. 저도 그런 사람중에 하나이구요. 영어도 계속 연습하고 공부해야 늘어요. 저도 이부분 좀 게으름을 피워서 아직도 영어를 많이 헤맵니다. 그래도 지금도 더 배우려고 노력하구요. 매일 조금씩 성장하도록 노력해보세요. 종종 소식 전해주시면 너무 기쁠것 같습니다. 고마워요. 응원합니다~~
Getting masters at 45 and then phD at 47. Thank you so much, loads of love prof!
Fantastic!

Any advice for someone thinking of getting into doctoral program at 56?
Thank you so much, I will be 43 this year I really want to do my PHD but due to earlier commitments I had no chance and now I was to reluctant to do it due to my age, but your video is really inspiring and it make lots of sense specially coming from professor herself , thank you so much
Go for it ! Follow your dream ! Like she said self- discipline and persistence!
Yes you opened my eyes no more excuses I'm going forward with self - discipline and persistence
I am so glad that my video motivates you to move forward. Thank you and please share your progress! My best wishes to YOU.
I am admitted to a college in Germany. Now, I am looking for funding to commence my PhD in 2023. I have been working for 10 years in the industry, and I have completed two masters. I am 37, and I heard some folks indicate that I was too old to start. I thought that doing a Ph.D. is not age-related. This video confirms part of my thinking. Thank you for your motivation and precise information.
You are 100% correct. Age does not matter to get a phd. Best luck for your adventure to get your PhD.
Thank you for the inspiration. This is great information!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting!

저는 사실 교수님처럼 미국에서 맨바닥에 헤딩식으로 성공하신 분들이 계시다는 것을 아는 것 자체만으로 큰 용기를 얻습니다.
교수님의 존재를 알려주셔서 정말 감사합니다.
Thank you this just the inspiration I need.
I'm so glad!
Thank you very much, you cleared some of dilemma.
I am glad that my video helped you. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Prof Thank you.I'm 32 now ,doing my masters from open university here in India ,while being a full-time govt employee.But I have promised myself to get a PhD degree .I think I am on the right path to fulfill my dreams.
You are very young and can do anything you want. I support your dream and please keep me posted about the progress you will make.
@@StudyTopiaTV Sure Professor.Thank you for the encouragement.
Thank you :-) I very much appreciate the time taken to make this video. You have made a positive difference in my life.
I'm so glad that this video positively impacts on your life. Thank you!
honest information and thanks a lot, professor....
Most welcome!
thank you for pointing out that in academia, there is no clear cut retirement age. I have seen this many times, where people keep going as long as they can
This is encouraging. I’m 31 but might not be able to purpose my PhD until I’m 41 so, i wondering about this!
I’m currently an LCSW
Glad to know that my video was encouraging. Starting your phd in your 40s is a perfect timing.
Thank you...its a nice and informative video.
So nice of you
안녕하세요 교수님! 저는 현재 20대 후반의 사회초년생입니다 ㅠㅠ
3년안에 돈을모아 퇴직금까지 바리바리 싸들고 석사 유학을 갈 생각을 하고있습니다만 생각보다 쉽지가, 아니 마음대로 되는게 하나도 없네요..
물론 지금과 같은 상황속에서 유학에 대한 정보를 찾다가 유튜브 채널을 건너건너 오아시스같은 교수님 채널을 방문하게 되었습니다.
좋은 영상 감사하고 오래오래 영상 오려주실 바랄께요^^ 감사합니다!!
HS EE님 응원합니다~~!!
Really wonderful and useful information
Glad you liked it
Thank you very much for your vide!
I'm 43 and I've been accepted into a PhD program in South Korea.
Am a bit afraid of not being able to cope with technical academic data since that am in business since many years. Although I kept studying and opting for very prestigious professional certification su
Such as PfMP and PMP
Again, thank you very much for your very helpful and encouraging content
This was great. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Thanks. I liked the idea of second career after retirement :).
thanks!
Thank you very much..
You are welcome
I started my PhD at age 53 and completed at age 58. I was working full-time when I enrolled in my program. The academic work is not the problem. The problem is the debt incurred and the return on investment. Unless your employer is paying for your program, you will incur at least six figures of debt. The labor marketplace will consider you too old and overqualified for employment, leaving you in debt for the rest of your life.
Most of doctoral programs offer assistantships that can cover tuition and stipend. 90% of the doctoral students I know received assistantships.
Thank you so much mam 💓
Most welcome 😊
I gave you the 100th like.. thnx for the video
You rock! Awesome. Thank you!
Thanks. Much needed video for me. I completed my masters at 24. Join as Asst prof. . Joined PhD program twice, but due to family issue first time baby and 2nd time migrating to a new country was not able to finish my PhD. Now at 34 , staying in Poland I am applying for PhD. I hope for best. Your words means a lot. Please share few more tips
Best luck with your program. YOU can do it!!!
Thank you

You can do it!
Thank-you Thank-you Thank -you
My pleasure!!!
Thank you so much for this informative and motivational video. I am a 43-year-old masters student currently struggling with her thesis .. I am planning to apply for a doctorate abroad, but I have doubts as to whether I have a chance to get a scholarship to continue my life while doing my PhD in the USA at my age. This can be a huge obstacle to a person who wants to move to another country for a doctorate at a certain age, right?
Writing thesis is one of the most challenging task in a graduate school. I don't think continuing your education in the USA is an obstacle, but it will be your opportunity.
No I don't think so. I'm finishing my degree in physics maths, working on masters l, and plan on going overseas for masters and doctorite (age 45). There are no obstacles, I do feel both you and I might need to apply to a few international places, but it wil come right
Thank you
You're welcome
I'll be switching to a completely unrelated field (physics), starting from scratch. Any advice for a student like me? (I'll be 35 at the time of completing my masters)
My MA and PhD specialities are completely different from my undergraduate major. I switched it because I want to what I enjoy doing. There are many students who choose their specialities something totally unrelated with their background or former degree but are doing great jobs. Why did you decide to study something new in the first place?
Got BSc at 24, just got my masters at 32, still considering PhD
Congrats!
I am 32 and i feel older than starting PHD, am I wrong?
32 is a good age to start your phd. Many phd students start their programs at 40s.
Mam am 33 with masters in life science can i start my phd
Yes of course. Even if you are at 40, you can start your PhD.
@@StudyTopiaTV thnx mam
You are still young. Go for it.
They call it an advanced degree for a reason
I agree.
1:09 You do NOT know what you're talking about. I applied to a PhD program 3 years ago, every university rejected me. Every timeI had a Zoom or face-to-face interview, I could tell that they thought that I was too old, and crazy to even consider a PhD. I went back and got my Master's, and re-applied to different universities. I have 1 offer as of today. FYI, I am now 60 years old.
