      I am still a PhD student so unfortunately not

      Hopefully in the future once I have my PhD and I use it to obtain a good job I will start earning lots of money!

      Haha, an important thing to know! Agreed!

      PhD’s can be quite well funded, depending on which area of science you chose to study during it. Unlike when you are an undergraduate student, doing your first degree, at university, during a PhD you get paid a wage for your work so it is effectively a job.

      It is also a great qualification that is widely respected by a lot of employers that can distinguish you against a lot of people when going for your dream job!

      Something to bear in mind; I would rather do a job I loved for less money than do a job I hated and be super rich. You have to do it all day, 5 days a week, so you have to love it!!
