The eerie silence of the merger, the pages of the book that run under his eyes serious and never tired of the students, the evening becomes night and the passion, dedication to study that never sets . For some, the drive to knowledge has the intensity that had the Pillars of Hercules in 'Dante's imaginary
built for Ulysses: the irresistible destination worth sacrificing and devoted all his life. In this scenario some of dedication and passion days ago in Palermo, a graduate student in philosophy, died by jumping from the window of his faculties. An extreme act that in its
irreparable tragedy makes tangible the sacrifice of body and soul of a life dedicated to love for the study.
But the world of the PhD often bullied academics interested and disinterested politicians how he lives his daily life? The word Frascino Domenico and Francesco Lo Giudice, who are living with this challenging experience Unical enthusiasm and undeniable shadow over the heart.
When ripe the will to groped a PhD?
Domenico I had thought I wanted to investigate and continue my studies, during the thesis work this idea has become more and more insistent, and so I did not miss the opportunity to participate in the contest. Currently play a doctorate in systems engineering and computer science.
Francis I chose to do a PhD because the university I am liked a lot. They taught me a lot and even won a human level. I've gained, then, the belief that I could not leave the study, but rather I should do, if possible, a profession. So I chose to pursue an academic career, starting with trying to win his PhD. I am currently pursuing her doctorate in political sociology.
How is having this experience and how is it?
Domenico Very well: the experience of doctoral approaches to research I am conducting several hours of teaching. Whether one or the other occupations are interesting but also very challenging and helped me to realize what it means to daily university life. Francesco
The Department of Sociology and Political Science at which place the doctorate is very well organized and includes dozens of great professionals, teachers and researchers of remarkable personal and professional. Unlike what is happening elsewhere, here, probably an accomplice to have structured the University as a campus, teachers and students interact more easily. This is true even among us students and our tutors with whom there is mutual interaction, a sign of great availability. Some discomfort is living who, like me, having won a PhD without a scholarship, and therefore without economic remuneration, carries out cooperation paid to earn a living. Doing so, however, removes the time and energy of scientific research
true.
Recently, a serious news story has reached its environment: a student discouraged by job prospects decided to take her life, a few comments on this?
Domenico I felt dismay and sadness as every time that I know of situations in which people come to commit suicide in protest, another example might be a few months ago when the 'victim' was a nurse in Naples. The problem of lack of prospects
is unfortunately widespread in all areas of employment and must be matched by another aspect: the "exploitation" of those who are young, resources and ideas, but never say. All of our generation, whether you want to work that wants to try to implement, is struck by a sense of 'inadequacy' and unfortunately I have a feeling that the attention of the media lights and only lukewarm before extreme cases such as that of fellow Zarcone.
Francesco These acts are usually unusual and drastic arising from the interweaving of the most difficult situations for personal and social development. However, the tragic death of this fellow is indicative of how the professional insecurity has a negative impact on daily life very dramatically, especially for those who, having made many sacrifices to study and graduate in a brilliant way to win competitions with dignity and self-realization, is sees an uncertain future and distressing, almost forced to feel guilty for choosing to do a job in hand should feel honored and proud of. I hope that politics can find a solution soon in this historical phase of the labor market.
A Ph.D. opens the way for more academic career? Domenico
In theory, the doctorate is the first step to begin an academic career, personally I hope to stay in the university or at least cut out my place in research. At this time, however, for me, I prefer not to look too far, I think you need to distract and to focus on today. Francesco
The doctorate is an important step to a career college, an excellent opportunity to test their ability in scientific research, but it is not sufficient career! After obtaining his doctorate there are other contests and challenges to overcome to become teachers. Some doctors give up the search to continue his career because in the meantime glimpse other career opportunities, either voluntary or induced by the excessive power of some academics, the
so-called 'barons', who decide the future of young people in' university academics.
