Good article, nice balanced view of both sides.
I have always had on my someday list to do a PHD in developing a quantitative model for information security risk using power laws because I believe it is something that is badly needed and something I am passionate about. I started to explore the problem here: http://rakkhi.blogspot.com/2010/07/security-return-on-investment-roi.html http://rakkhi.blogspot.com/2010/07/security-return-on-invest...
Could I do this online while doing my full time job?
What are some universities that are quite cost effective and would support this type of online / distance learning model for a PHD?
- radekstepan 16y agoNorthcentral University does an online PhD in CS for 27k GBP. You could also talk to folks at Open University. They have a wide range of MPhil and PhD interests and might advise you. And yes, you can do a PhD and work at the same time. Depends what motivates you and makes you happy. If you cannot wait to be productive and find things out, the sky is the limit. Just watch out for burn out...
- rakkhi 16y agoThanks for that. 27k still a decent chunk of money - wonder what my return on investment will be for that. Think its going to stay on my someday list for now, who knows if by software as a service business does well I can focus on a PHD full time while the money still keeps coming in
