[quote=Anonymous]I have a PhD, love learning and am curious. But that’s why I would not need another PhD unless I suddenly decided that my true passion was a lab science or CS/engineering. I know how to learn and how to develop/explore my interests on my own at this point. That could include taking courses, but no need for another degree program if the work I’m doing is still largely text-based and/or observational. And I certainly know scientists who have moved across scientific fields without getting a second PhD. Lots of disciplinary boundaries are fluid and if you acquired the relevant skillset during your first PhD, there’s no intellectual reason you need to pursue a second PhD. (Could be a credentialing issue, I suppose, but that’s not likely if you’re a tenured academic.)[/quote]
