Subject: **PDO Funding Alert-- American Council of Learned Societies - Public Fellows Competition for Recent PhDs Public Fellows Competition for Recent PhDs AgencyAmerican Council of Learned Societies DescriptionACLS is pleased to announce the tenth annual competition of the Mellon/ACLS Public Fellows program. The program promotes the visibility and value of the humanities PhD beyond the academy by offering opportunities for PhDs to contribute to the public good while gaining career-building experience in the fields of policy, community development, conservation, arts and culture, and media. This initiative is made possible through the support of The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. In 2020, the program is offering 21 two-year term positions at organizations in government and nonprofit sectors for recent PhDs from the humanities and humanistic social sciences. Fellows will participate in the substantive work of these organizations and will have opportunities for networking, mentoring, and career development programming, both in-person and virtually.
... keep reading on reddit ➡I am 27M. About a year and a half ago I finished my BA degree (not uncommon at my age where I live), and almost immediately found a fairly prestigious job in a field that interests me, that pays a relatively high salary for my country. Earlier this year, I moved from my parent's house to a newly renovated apartment in one of the nicest parts of town (with roommates, but still). I am debt-free and financially independent. I have friends, have had a couple of long term relationships, and have dated quite a bit, though currently single. A few months ago I took a solo vacation abroad and have all the Insta highlights to prove it. I try to go to the gym regularly, and in October I started a master's degree. In my new home I am the responsible one who pays all the bills on time, is the main contact person for the landlord, and fixes anything that is broken. According to the narrow definitions of Western society, on paper I am moderately successful, definitely not a loser.
And yet most of the time I feel miserable. I hate spending most of my waking hours in an office and don't understand who came up with this system where we work to afford lives that are mostly spent working. Most of my friends have left the city I live in because of its lack of appeal to young people, and the ones that are still here are busy with their own lives and rarely have time to hang out. Dating in 2021 is something that I could write an entirely separate post about, but I will just say here that it has for the most part been an extremely frustrating and demoralizing experience. Most of the time I feel lonely and isolated, obviously the pandemic hasn't helped. I suppose I could move, but I am afraid that that will make things worse, because the only people who truly care about me (my immediate family, who I see once or twice a week) are here. Life has become mostly a gray blur of work, home, gym, the occasional social event. If this is what I can expect until retirement age then honestly it seems pretty bleak.
I know that I have it a LOT better than other people and I truly am grateful for the good things I have in my life which I do not take for granted by any means. But I feel that all the things I was told were the "right" things to do growing up (go to college, get a job, move up the societal ladder, support yourself) might check other people's boxes but really don't guarantee happiness or a subjective sense of wellbeing at all. Especially when you have no one to share it with.
