        i haven't had to do a thesis yet, just a 25 page report about the Kerensky leadership in Russia during WW1. I learned a lot though, glad I had to write it

        The paper was actually a suggestion from Chris62, back when I started a thread asking for ideas on what to write about

          I tried to write my thesis on whether ugly people were as or more shallow than attractive people. It got shot down faster than my proposal on lucky days.

            I feel your pain.

            I'm on page 37 on mine, economics papers aren't as long (~50-70 at most) but the tough part is the empirics: i.e. doing the econometric model.

            Mine is a study on the effect of quality standards in technological diffusion in a range of local car-parts industries, and then seeing if the technological diffusion leads to higher human capital in the workers.

                    Just a cheery note to make you all feel just a bit more insecure:

                    After Henry Kissinger turned in his first undergraduate term paper at Harvard, the Academic Senate met and passed an upper limit for undergraduate papers of 50,000 words.

                      Its easy to get to 50,000 words if you just keep reiterating the same old ****. My PhD thesis was a cut and paste job with conclusions thrown in at the end. It was less than 100 pages with references.

                      Of course the cut and paste came from 5 papers on the subject that I had previously written and published .

                            No problem finding time, problem using it productively rather than messing around with google and finding things like this

                              Now I've lost counting of the pages I' ve written so far.

                              And I think I've got the never-finishing-research syndrome. As I write, more and more things to be researched pop up, so I burden myself with even more material.
