Thinking of staying in Education...

[Barry123]

Right, I've done uni, I'm still at uni, I've got a great job, I'm getting paid rather well. Life is good, very good.

Now I personally can't be arsed to work in the 'real world' though.

Now that I couldn't run for VP as I was too good for it I'm thinking about a PhD.
Long shot I know, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with PhD'ers in industry? has a PhD'er in their family or is in fact the carrier of a PhD?

spam is welcome just incase no one actually replies with anything useful.

Incidently if I do it and get the qualification (3-4 years) you'll all have to call me Dr Adsayer and I'll ask for a username change also - guaranteed to pull the babes :cool:

[Ryan]

you only want to go back to education so you can run for VP

i say do it, im down here 2 more years so i can invade more at ur uni lol!!!!

[Raz]

id stay on at Uni mate....especially of your happy etc....and you say your getting paid rather well...no need to leave then imo....

All I know is doing a PHD greatly reduces your employability, so if your doing a PHD your more likely to end up in education

[Ryan]

how do you work that out? being more qualified means less employment opportunities.

[Yates]

get a job you fucking bum!

get a phd and i will still address you as shitbrick

get a job in macdonalds up morton park in darlington

[Yates]

Sayer and ryan your clearly not too busy now as your spamming internet forums, get yourselfs together and sort out my gear box!

Ryan you need to sort it so you can tell everyone at car shows that you sorted the box for me so everyone likes you and dont think your a loser

sayer you need the box sorting for the ring trip so that you can have a go of it and tell me how good it is

[Yates]

[Hanuman]

get a job you fkn uni bum, taking advantage off other peoples jobs, infact go to uni by the time you come out as dr there will be no jobs available to you :P

[saunders]

Not really..... depends entirely on the area of work you are doing, but it is a well known fact that in many cases doing a PHD can reduce your chances

patience my child... I've always said once the gearbox is done it'll be stored at the university until I decide on a suitable ransom figure and deliver it to you.

[Yates]

i know where you live Sayer, just remember that!

[Tupps]

Yates your insane!

Shoot yourself in the leg and come home

you see that's my thought... I'm thinking about motorsport maybe as a career... you know bone the pit girls and stuff. McLaren, RedBull, BAR etc all look for people with either Masters :cool: or PhD's... Bachelors dont stand a chance unless they're already in the industry with a proven record.

but then I've got to think about whether long term its for me...

toughy :wacko:

[Hanuman]

or wether theyl accept you ahead of the other hundreds of qualified experienced applicants ? tough choices mate but thats life

I personally would do a Masters and then aplpy and see if you enjoy the work, only then can you really make a decision

[Graeme]

ads get a job you bum

I have a masters dude.

hell no bro!

[baker556]

surely a PHD opens up more oppurtunitys in lines of work there gonna look at employers with Bahons and a masters and then see a PHD who would you chose its pretty obvious isnt it?

[Pat_Vts]

my dad has PHD... hes on like 70g a year i think?... his 08 reg astra isnt on fianance lol..

[vtrchris64]

Stay in uni do a phd, become a lecturer ;)

[aran2k2]

[Crunkers]

My step bro has a PhD. Got it in Bio-Chemistry if i remember correctly. I would stay on if your enjoying yourself that much. Will be worth it in the long run

whats he doing now that he has a PhD dude? is he in industry?

[Jazz]

Still on my bachelor degree (as you know already Ads), or Legum Baccalaureus (LLB) in Latin :)
(Small-fry, I have a masters, says a pompous Ads ;))

PHD is a good idea, especially if you want to go into the motorsport career field. At the end of the day, qualifications like these will be with you whenever, wherever, so do what you feel is right.

You have to ask yourself, do you want to actually step away from the whole 'education' thing and do work? Or if you're happy where you are and what you're doing, (hence, life is very good,) why change? Go PHD dude.

[Ryan]

become an atomic scientist :P

My cousin is considering doing a PhD in Astrophysics i believe

[Barry123]

Cheers y'all

I had a word with my lecturer and he thinks I'm capable of doing it, just got to find sponsorship circa £40k

:S

[Crunkers]

Good luck sayer! :y:

[Danr]

I'd do it Sayer, will be worth it although i'll never call you Doc.

Also, will give you another 4 years to get some sweet sweet uni ass.

[Barry123]

I'd do it Sayer, will be worth it although i'll never call you Doc

this troubles me as its the only reason I'd do a PhD...:geek:

Oh I get paid too dude :cool:

[bullit]

you decided yet. my mates gonna become a doc. he should be out of education when his 40

[saxodan]

only thing is you will never have any real work expereince, will end up just being a researcher at a uni and eventially a lecturer..

get some life expereince and a job with the degree you work hard for
masters was pushing it but phd takes the biscuit

[Danr]

My mates Dad did one a few years back. Took him ages as he had to combine the learning with his work life. If you do it now you won't have to worry about work meaning you have more time on your studies!

I've got work experience... 1 WHOLE year in industry, and 6 months of working for a well... technically, a motorsport team.

I've got more life experience than most. nice sheltered life style, never having to lift a finger etc etc

Engineering is a bit different to business management, in that its better and the more higher qualifications you have the better jobs you bag. unlike BM where you can aim for as high as a McRags employee.
