I've been doing a PhD, part-time, at Warwick Uni for the past almost 5 years. I've felt for a while like it's just a waste of time and money but I've stuck with it because I didn't like the idea of dropping out and also had no other more enticing options to lure me away.
Over the past few years I've seen what life as an academic is like and I'm not sure I want it. The teaching and the research seem to be just an afterthought and all the academics I know spend most of their time dealing with administrative stuff.
Anyway, what I came here to ask is, what career options are still open to someone like me? I've got a BA in Politics w/ Economics (2:1) and an MA in International Political Economy. Within a year I hope to have a PhD (my PhD is on a British Politics topic). I'm 28, can't speak any other languages and my only work experience is teaching some seminar classes, a bit of lecturing, and some research assistance.
