A PhD proves you can do research and be recognized as a scholar, not that your dissertation will change the world. Most dissertations are mediocre by their own authors' standards, but they still count as proof of work because they're often your first real research project.
Yeah, that is what the PhD is about. Becoming a scholar. Few people change the world with their dissertations, and if you get behind closed doors and start talking to academics, many of them will admit that their PhD, their dissertation was some of the worst research they've ever done. But it showed that they could do research and that they were a scholar. And really, if you think about it, it was the first time they've ever really done research. So why would it be the best you've ever done? Good luck. Comment help and I'll send you the link to my free dissertation Help community.
