I'm currently a second year battling with a billion and one ideas of what I want to do with my life!
I'm a second year BSc Animal Behaviour student and my course has made me really interested in disease mechanisms and public health and I have been looking into post graduate courses for those topics to see what is available as I really enjoy it, HOWEVER I've just stumbled across a PhD in outdoor education, something I've spent a lot of time doing as a volunteer (especially forest school!) and I absolutely love it whole heartedly, and it made me think that I've messed up again and again with courses and it's too late to change again and possibly integrate into BSc Geography that is on my campus which would be more suited (I recently looked at it because of severe disappointment in my course, and there are much more options available to me)!!
Problem is, the PhD in Outdoor Education is only done at Edinburgh Uni which is far from ideal with my current situation (I'm a career for my dad who has degenerative MS and every mental illness in the book, and a financial aide for my family and my OH's work going to be in either London/Bristol based: he's studied BA Theatre hoping to get into acting after he graduates this year). If anyone knows of any courses in the south of England that do Outdoor Education to PhD level (I have my heart on research and getting a doctorate, no matter what the course!) and then I have thought of many careers I could do involving Outdoor Ed, as well as careers in Public Health so I'm very stuck!
I may be adding all of this onto a long list of worries and problems that I already have, so any help and advice on applying, when to think about it and what to do is also greatly appreciated!!!!
