However, the uni doesn't have funding for PhD candidates and I don't have JRF now. This has caused me to take up 3 jobs. I work on Saturdays and a few Sundays. Monday classes start at 7 30 am so I have to start at 6 from home. There are often times when my work starts at 7 30 and ends at 7.
Honestly, I never considered working in law firm or litigation because of the shitty working hours. And now, here I am.
I'm seriously considering preparing for CAT. I have worked at a Research Centre for 3 years and at my current job for about an year. The second year of my PhD is about to get over. After all this, I feel like a failed academic due to just 1 publication. Money is another factor. Family had almost 0 savings and world really on me after my father's retirement. I doubt I can sustain my family even on a UGC scale.
Considering all this, is this a good or a bad idea?
publication is required, get your supervisor to co-author with you, scopus only
