Can't find an interesting PhD topic - SEEKING ACADEMIC ADVICE
As the title suggests, I'm *really* struggling to decide on a topic that's genuinely interesting to me since spending 4+ years of your lifetime working on something you don't like is quite scary. I'm an English Language Teaching MA graduate and I've read what I believe to be a shit-ton of literature so far. Trouble is, I can't seem to find something that sparks my curiosity. It would be great if you can help me out with this, thanks.
EDIT: If you're going to comment "You shouldn't do a PhD"/"A PhD is not for you", please read the following:
What I meant was that I've failed to find something interesting to *the people in academia" and not to "myself". For example: I love topics related to music and videogames and how they overlap with ELT and a lot of classroom-related stuff. However, the feedback I received from peers and former profs from my uni on such interests were NOT what I expected; hence, the culprit behind my "inability to find an interesting PhD topic". Thank you.
