“First, consider marketability when choosing a topic. I know we all want to “follow our passion”. But if you can’t get a job after graduation, your passion won’t keep a roof over your head. Focus on something that is in demand in your field or up-and-coming, and do it well. Once you have the job you want, nothing will stop you from looking at other topics. But graduate school is about creating a career, not about feeding your soul. Be pragmatic about your choices and focused about meeting your goals and you will do well.” – Protoscholar via Doctoralnet.com
