Abstract
Doctoral education in social work can be an arduous journey, especially for new doctoral students. Dusting off knowledge of research, statistics, and other concepts can be challenging for new social work doctoral students and future social work researchers. Despite the scholarly rigor required of students, their journeys pale in comparison to the daily struggles of the homeless, and others in society who are disadvantaged. This article reflects upon one student's experience as a newly matriculating doctoral student, a popular pop song from the 1980's, and homelessness in Chicago, IL. Strategies for managing the pressures doctoral education are explored.
