Duplicate of Is doing two PhDs a good path? | |
| Jul 22, 2021 at 16:21 | comment | added | Elizabeth Henning | @Roland More specifically, it's a piece of paper that's supposed to certify that you are able to learn independently and conduct research on your own within a broad area. So it might make sense to get a second PhD in comparative literature after getting one in the sciences, but it probably doesn't to get a second PhD in a related science field. | |
| Jul 22, 2021 at 16:19 | comment | added | J... | Doing a second PhD, unless you're radically changing fields, is telling the world (1) - you think your university made a mistake when they gave you the first one, and (2), by extension, you also don't think you can do research independently yet. | |

| Jul 22, 2021 at 10:15 | comment | added | user3653908 | @astronat kind of. Although the general sentiment answers some of my concerns, I believe it does not directly apply because I feel like I got little value from this PhD | |
| Jul 22, 2021 at 9:15 | comment | added | user3653908 | Right. I wonder if I will be able to transition to a new field like neuroscience as a PostDoc or industry employee with the current experience I have. Like, should I take a few months off to intensively work on new skills before applying to jobs or should I apply and try to get them on the job? | |
