Cheers. One down, going into the second in about half an hour. Should probably be cramming but I really don't think I can get more stuff in my head right now.

And all of this talk of PhDs is making me weak in the knees. I'm not ready to be an adult, but I'm certainly ready to say goodbye to study [img]smile.gif[/img] Can't wait to strap on a backpack and go adventurin' (ie: go and teach English in Korea like every other Kiwi Arts graduate ) [ 05-25-2004, 09:52 AM: Message edited by: The Hierophant ]

A PhD! Well only 5 more years of college and you'll Be able to get a job at a burger Joint. LOL
Just kidding But if You can, Find a part time job as an apprentice in what ever field your getting your PhD in. Then when you have completed your PhD you won't have to start at the bottom in the mail room some place trying to prove yourself. So start your climb up the ladder in a some company now ,let them know what your doing and what University your attending. My son is doing just that right now. He is at the end of his 3rd year and works for the city as the Web Master while working on his PhD in computer developement and electronics Engineering. At age 22 he goes to college 18 hrs a week and works 32 hrs a week and bring in over $40,000.00 a year. By the time he finishes College at the University of Virginia He'll be bringing in over $100,000.00 A year and be the head of the department. "He's already been told this, "by the City office President That's the Job he'll have and the salary He'll have" or He can get a Job some place else with 4 years of experiance already behind him. Anyway Good Luck to All !

That's good advice, Crimson [img]smile.gif[/img] . My PhD is a combined research-coursework so I'm essentially doing training as well as research at the same time - this time next year I'll have real clients who I'll have to give therapy too!

Sounds like your son has it sorted though, he gets paid $40,000 for being a web master?? That company must have some cash trees in its back garden or something. Anyone who know some ASP or php can make websites - you don't need a degree, let alone a PhD to do that, how come he's getting paid so much? Me no understand... hehe. But sounds like schemes we have here where people do a part-time PhD - although they typically take 5 or 6 years to get it as opposed to 3 - 3.5 years for full-time students. Such is the downside to doing it part-time. I'd rather do it full time and not worry about juggling my time between work and research.
