should I do BEd then Med and then Phd
I have never held formal degrees like Bed & Med much in regard.
I find practical work & self exploration to be much deeper and more comprehensive and greatly developing pathways
For example - to me writing a book is biggest degree and a huge learning - a complete Phd in itself.
Hence I will question you - why do you want to do Bed & Med & Phd - towards what end?
Why not spend the same time, effort and resources in
impacting children, parents, teachers and yourself in a much bigger way!!!
thinka bout this
Writing a book is just an example.
one can do anything - which does this IMPACT bit!
somehow I question this cultural bend of our society towards degrees which serve no purpose.
I believe in "Industry" (meaning effort geared towards a result) not mere academics!
that makes me learn more!
mere academics is a waste of time & resource - even in terms of self development
I've no degree in any field of education, yet I think I am impacting children, parents & teachers more - than - many who have tomes of degrees tucked with laminated covers in their cupboards
So please justify why you want to do all this Bed & Med & Phd
Our life is the sum total of our day to day activities.
If your day is full of activities which give scope for you to grow - then you are on lifelong learning journey - rest all is theory which I do not call learning
Also - according to me - I am only growing - in the real sense - if I am making others around me GROW
to that extent I find academics to be a very selfish pursuit.
however the moment I start sharing them with others - in some way helping them grow - it ceases to be academics - but becomes joyous life!
