So where do you start with your topic? There are many ways to come up with a topic. For example, you may want to start to look back at your school subjects and remember the topics you enjoyed. What theories did you find interesting? Which instructor inspired you? What lesson did you find fascinating to study more?
You may also want to think about your job. What do you do that is covered in the literature? What topics experts in your field have worked on? What problem at your work was worth researching and studying?
Another area in searching for a topic is that you start reading journal articles. This can be time consuming, but it works if you are stuck. If you decide to take this route, be careful not to fall into a state of no topic for too long. This needs to be short.
Finding a topic can be a nightmare, because some students, if they do not land on their topic fast enough, are never satisfied with any topic. Even if later they decided on a topic, they still remember all the reasons that kept them without a topic for a long time. Therefore, do not let this issue overwhelm you.
