If anyone in the twitterverse has worked a full-time job while writing/editing an MSc thesis, please let me know: 1) how you managed your time, and 2) how you stayed sane. 😅 #sendhelp #AcademicTwitter @AcademicChatter

@MelTaylorSaund1 @AcademicChatter Wow! That sounds busy but super interesting (and important work!)
But yes, you're right... we chose this life and have to deal with the consequences 😂

@worldprinxe Maybe if these jobs paid a livable wage there wouldn't be this "issue"?????
