Go back and do a PhD?
+'s -
When you finish, you should be pretty marketable
Pick up a whole new set of research skills
Support group shouldn't be a problem in a university environment
Potential for coding if you want to.
Someone with industry experience will tend to have
a good idea of what will work in reality
-'s
You will take a hit money wise until you qualify
You could perhaps look at doing a masters as an intermediate step?
- dRother 16y agoAre there attractive, single members of the opposite sex involved with this? If so, just let me know which colleges I should apply to.
- crpatino 16y agoDo - not - listen - to - him !!! PhD is a long and uncertain education path... that leads to an even longer and more uncertain career path. Oh, and you will be 5+ years older that everybody else.
- anonymousDan 16y agoDepends where you do your PhD! It's only 3 years (in theory!) in the UK/most of Europe.
- crpatino 16y ago3 years out of undergraduate school? The program I dropped out from was, as you say, 3 years on paper. However, you had to have already a masters degree in roughly the same area of expertise as your dissertation theme. Otherwise, they had a "special" Direct PhD program where they would put you in the same classes with all the introductory classes with the rest of the masters students (4yrs vs 2 + 3 yrs). Besides that, everybody knows that figures are extremely optimistic. I have heard from different people that 4 years is considered the bare minimum you need to finish. Then, there comes the limbo of post-doc stints before making it to adjunct professor.
