  • Masters in Engineering (thesis-based masters, which is longer than the report-based and coursework only options). I’m still in the technical route doing engineering 15 years later.

    Sometimes I wish I had the PhD so I could be a professor as I would enjoy teaching, and being in an energetic, inquisitive, enthusiastic environment of university. I guess I could always try teaching at a community college or something, but that doesn’t pay well.

    I didn’t continue on to PhD because:

    1. By advisor left the university for a promotion
    2. I knew too many students that seemed to get trapped with an advisor that kept them around for too long, which seemed like a trap. But with the right advisor I would’ve.
    3. I wanted to make money and stop being broke
