Motivation
Your 'contribution' can be tiny. A PhD can at times feel like a momentous task that will change the world, but actually as long as it's something new it doesn't matter how big it is.

People always ask me, "Are you still at university?", and it's really disheartening when people don't understand how important research is to my career path. I eventually learned to pay no mind to them, and surrounded myself with other research students who may not understand my topic, but who will understand my passion and goals.”

Doing a PhD part time does not make me inferior to those on full time degrees. In some ways, it's a blessing. I have more years of academic support, more years for conferences, more time to take advantage of networking opportunities etc.
