What do I do during my gap year?
I’m currently in the inbetween phase where I’m completing my masters, still awaiting grades and looking for jobs. I applied to PhD programmes and got an offer with no funding, seeing as it’s July I know the probability of funding coming up is unlikely so I plan to eventually defer my admission to next year, however, I’m now confused on what I should do when I’m done with my masters. I’m constantly on job sites and I’ve cold emailed academics but nothing has come up yet. I don’t want to have a gap in my CV or any time off my ‘career’ since I know what I want to do. My question is, how do I actually find something worth doing to actually sustain me in terms of living cost and gain experience in a humanities role that leads to my end goal (becoming an academic)?
