I'm a teacher, although right now I'm taking a break and private tutoring. My dream is to work in education research (I have a BA in English Lit and Ed.M in Curriculum and Instruction).

However, I can't apply to PhDs right now because it's personally not the right time. What are my options for engaging in research without a mentor while also being unable to take on a full-time job as a research assistant?

I'm 21, and for the last 10 years I've only used a pad. I'm super excited to switch to a disc, except I have no idea where to start! My priorities would be no leakage, easy to take out (because I panic easily), and just overall good quality. I also have never been sexually active and I'm not sure if that's relevant. I plan on getting an IUD in the near future though.

I live in India, so I prefer something that ships here but I could ask a friend to bring it from the US, too. I'd appreciate any recommendations thanks xD
