[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First thing: Ask yourself - [b]'what can I do with my doctorate right now?'[/b]

And then 'where do I want to be?'

When you have an education already, often-times all you need is a certificate in your area of interest to move into that field. So your doctorate is still very useful.

Good example: I had an undergrad in psych. Completely useless. Added a MS in Information Systems, along with some courses in programming (and skills in) and I became (in my company's eyes) a computer professional who also could talk to people.

Have you thought about writing a book about your experiences teaching? About something else you are interested in? Starting a small business on the side so that you are transitioning?

What are you interested in? The key to your career change lies there. [/quote]

a PHD in humanities? What a waste. If one is going to go that far, WHY should someone not just get their MD so they can have flexibility and actually make have an ROI.[/quote]
