    How do I find a suitable topic for my doctoral thesis? 1. Consult with your advisor or department chair: Your advisor or department chair should be able to provide you with guidance on topics that are of interest to the department and that have the potential to be developed into a successful doctoral dissertation. 2. Research your interests: Spend some time researching topics that are of interest to you. Think about topics you have studied or worked on in the past and develop them further. 3. Attend conferences and seminars: Attending conferences and seminars related to your field of study can provide you with ideas for potential dissertation topics. 4. Review literature: Review recent literature in your field of study and look for potential gaps in knowledge or topics that could be explored further. 5. Consult with colleagues and mentors: Talking to colleagues and mentors can provide valuable insight into potential topics for your dissertation.

    It's great that I found this article. It is possible to make money from programming, but the main thing is to be a qualified programmer. There are some tasks that a beginner in this business may not be able to handle. So it's good to get help from https://www.programmingassignment.net/ where they can help you with any programming language. When I first started in programming I often asked for help from professionals. To better understand how to write code.
