[quote=Anonymous]I did it. Like you, my program was offered locally and at Columbia. My options were to enslave myself for 7 years and go back to student living in NY. Or keep my full time job and let my company pay for it while I went Part time. I was 30 at the time and really had no desire to go back to eating mac & cheese and ramen on a regular basis. It took me 5 years to finish. 2 for the extra course work above my masters and 3 for the dissertation. I loved doing the research. I loved the courses. And now I teach as an adjunct. Until I retire, I don't think I would consider full time teaching. As it is, I teach 2 courses a semester. I get to interact with the students. I continue to research and publish and attend conferences. For me, I practice what I teach during the day and teach to others in the evening. It's the best of all worlds IMO. BTW--I don't think I would have gotten the teaching position without the Phd[/quote]
