Just saying

I got my results for my MA today. Pass with Merit. After all the hell I went through with this course, burning out and crashing and having full-blown anxiety meltdowns, I'm really pleased I actually managed to do pretty well. That ate several years off my life and I will never look on 2013 as being anything other than a hellish year, but- well, I did it. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with this degree, or who to ask. Any ideas would be welcome.

Morgane Guillemot, MA.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have my greatest admiration! I dropped out in the middle of mine because I couldn't stand the stress and the panic attacks, so I know what an achievement you've made there!

What you should do with your degree is party -- and party hard! ;) (After that? Yeah, I got nothing. Try for a teaching position or something?)

I'm not sure if I should congratulate, or commiserate! But well done. ;-)

Well done you.

Doctorate? Lecturing? (feel free to throw things if you wish! :o)

How does one go about lecturing? I mean, I would love to go be paid for talking about this subject, but how would I start going about it?

Start applying for lecturing jobs I guess- THES is a good place to look. Ask around at the uni. OU maybe? They're always on the lookout for part timers if you want to fit it round another job.

Congratulations! It sounds like you more than earned it.

Congratulations!

I also got my MA results from my studies in London just last week; likewise passed with merit. And this was after an exceptionally rocky (and emotionally harrowing) undergraduate education (what there was of it). All of which is to say that while I don't claim to know the details of what you've been through for this degree, I can imagine what a huge accomplishment and a staggering relief this must be for you.

Again, heartiest congratulations.
