This week on Dr. Mandie Unedited, we discuss if a PhD is right for you! I have had many people asking me questions about how to get started in pursuing a PhD. So, it's important to discuss some hard questions. In this episode, we discuss the different types of PhDs, what some of the costs of a PhD are, and what you should think about before starting one.
