[QUOTE="TCLA Community Assistant, post: 86948, member: 2672"] Have you spoken to Birmingham to see if you can go back into your second year? I think this is a first steo This is only how I can interpret what you have written, but if you feel like you arse going backwards at Manchester and you choose to stay, maybe it’s worthwhile pouring yourself into something else outside of academia to feel like you are doing something. Maybe you can get involved in some extra curriculars or even work part time/volunteer to really help build up the rest of your CV outside of academia (all will be important with the careers you are aiming for). You’ll need to explain your years out - but they are not 1) unusual or 2) necessarily a negative, especially in the light of extenuating circumstances. I think you really need to focus on what keeps you happy though, given what you have gone through. I wouldn’t really focus on longer term goals, I’d focus more on getting yourself to a place where you are happy first. [/QUOTE]
