Accordingly, I built on my limited fundraising experience to teach myself\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.lse.ac.uk\/impactofsocialsciences\/2019\/08\/19\/reflections-on-academic-fundraising-the-art-of-getting-there\/\">the art of research grant writing<\/a>. I also tried to publish as much as possible while applying for professorships, convinced that my decent publications and good funding track-record would make me noticed by some hiring committee.<\/p>\n<p>I tried hard. One year, I collected\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/papaphd.com\/abel-polese-building-a-fulfilling-career-piece-by-piece\/\">56 rejection letters<\/a>, two interviews, and zero offers. For a long time, I felt incomplete and that I had underachieved. What was wrong with me? After surviving on external funding for nearly ten years, I finally admitted to myself that my \u201ctransitional years\u201d had brought me very far from my initial objective. My transitional job was actually my daily job.<\/p>\n<p>True, I still had no permanent job but I was working with whom I wanted, where and when I wanted, and on what I really liked to do. Was I really ready to give up all this to get some security?<span id=\"more-10614\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h4>The fun and useful principle<\/h4>\n<p>With no scholarship during my PhD years, I specialised in the art of fund-saving but also tested different money-making options: delivering training, studies, paid internships, teaching, playing music in bars, short fellowships, prizes, and project evaluations. Some tasks were paid more, some less. Some tasks were not paid at all but I estimated that they would bring me the knowledge, expertise, and networks that I could then use at a later stage to get access to something else.<\/p>\n<p>Unpaid work is a controversial thing. It can drift into exploitation (i.e. you teach for free, we give you a certificate so you can boast teaching skills on your CV) but it can sometimes be a win-win situation. Think of helping a local organisation with no funding who support homeless people in your area: you get enriched and gain project management experience or social skills.<\/p>\n<p>As a father of four, I needed money but I also tried to concentrate on things that were \u201cfun and useful\u201d. Fun means that I enjoyed doing something to a fair extent. Useful meant that both sides gained something from my action.<\/p>\n<p>For some clients, I would do a one-off consultancy like running a training course or a report. With others, I developed a long-term relationship and would get regular tasks. Some clients disappeared, others popped up through my network or through fortunate coincidences.<\/p>\n<p>I was worried at first \u2013 and I still get worried from time to time. If I lose this (or that) well-paid task, how will I compensate financially?<\/p>\n<h4>Jigsawing your salary<\/h4>\n<p>To minimise risks, my strategy was to secure a base of income that I knew would pay my rent in any case. Anything on the top of that would be a bonus.<\/p>\n<p>Just like with wine, some years were better than others. At times, I would worry that I was not earning enough; I would dream of a permanent job and even try some options. I tried working as a civil servant only to understand that it was not my calling in spite of all the security the job could offer. When I left my job as a civil servant, my colleagues could not believe what I was doing. \u201cYou are leaving? Ah, you\u2019re changing department?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No, I was leaving for good. I never regretted that and I was not alone. The other two people who left this kind of job to work on their own told me the same thing: \u201cDo not blame yourself for leaving what your parents would consider a dream job; we are not cut out for this\u201d. We are few, but strong.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, I came to terms with my fears. I still think \u201cwhat if nobody needs me for the next month?\u201d. This is a possibility but I value being able to work at my tempo so much. I value the search for partners, encountering and forming alliances with amazing people who inspire me. I love having a business meeting and then going to dinner or a drink, knowing that interesting discussions about life, the universe, the world will follow and we will share ideas and come up with things that did not exist before.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Did not exist before\u2019 \u2013 that is a leitmotiv in my life. Most of what I propose is met with \u201cWe cannot do this. We\u2019ve never done this before\u201d. Then I break through and people say \u201cWell, it was not that hard after all\u201d, almost as if the following sentence would be \u201cI knew from the start you would manage to do it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s the prize, then I can put up with a bit of uncertainty. But I acknowledge that it\u2019s hard, and scary when you start. Or even now.<\/p>\n<h4>In praise of mixed careers<\/h4>\n<p>When I started my path I had no role models. Out of conventional wisdom, I considered that stability and security could only come after tenure. Experience and colleagues\u2019 stories taught me a different story. Tenured professors can be made \u201credundant\u201d or the department can undergo \u201creorganisation\u201d (basically, you are fired but using nicer words). Besides, the price of stability might be getting trapped in an environment you do not like or where your talents are overexploited just because hey, who would give up a permanent position to get into the unknown in these (permanent) times of crisis?<\/p>\n<p>But how many researchers work as lawyers, accountants, artists, and doctors? I mix academic articles with studies for the government, studies for international organisations or training kits for development organisations. Likewise, my friends advise governments on public health issues, foreign policy, security or risk in international conflicts. Career trajectories are varied and each strategy and path is unique.<\/p>\n<p>Mixing a half-academic career with other professional activities is a reality and should receive full acknowledgment. While having a professorship and undertaking other roles is considered normal, a non-tenured scholar changing institutions every 3-5 years, or remaining an adjunct professor while doing other things, is still perceived as \u201cnot accomplished\u201d or their career as incomplete.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Feeling accomplished is a matter of being comfortable in what you\u2019re doing, not of satisfying criteria defined by people away from your world and reality in time and space. This is how it worked for me but I would bet that there are many other ways to compromise between what you\u2019re supposed to do (to earn money) and what you enjoy doing. Identifying a new path might be painful, involve falling and doubting about yourself and your capacities many times. But your success is eventually the very by-product of your many attempts and failures.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong><\/em> <em>Abel Polese is a researcher, trainer, writer, manager and fundraiser.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Had someone asked, when I defended my PhD, what my biggest aspiration was, my answer would have been \u201cto get a professorship\u201d.
