Past dissertations are an extremely useful thing. If you are freaky enough to throw one away after all the time you have spent and all the nerves you have wasted before and during the dissertation defense, we will try to talk you out of it.
 
The point is that there are at least four optimal things you can do with your past dissertation. There are much more, actually, but it is impossible to fit them all into a small article. This is why we spent some time voting for the best variants of using past dissertations, and here is what we have come up with:

1. The first option is obvious – you can publish your past dissertation. It is not a cheap thing, but if you are into science, you will probably want to choose it. Spend some time looking for a good publishing company, unless you want to pay more or mess up the whole thing.
2. Past dissertations are also useful when it comes to deepening the research. A possibility of continuing your topic is quite real. Imagine that you will have to start everything over. Only one thought about it can make one shiver. But if you saved your previous works and your past dissertation as well, the research will go much faster and easier.
3. Past dissertations are a great way to boast. Wait until you get old and wise, take out you past dissertations, show them to grandchildren and tell stories about how you suffered and what you came through to get these past dissertations.
4. On the other hand, why waiting, if you can successfully utilize your past dissertations right now. Use them to wrap lunch and sandwiches. You can even propose your own slogan. Something like Smart and Healthy Food.
