Soldato
German engineer companies are packed with people with PhDs in comparison to us.
Get a job, don't waste three + years on research. We get PhDs in my work all the time looking for data etc for their research and most of the timeit is irrelevant. Your career paths in industry after a phd is limited to the r& d departments of big companies (talking about engineering PhDs or eng ds here).
I'm an engineer and now a Dr. Many engineers in Germany for example have doctorates.
Congrats delta! (Didn't we use to have a beer emoticon years ago?).
Thanks . Very pleased it all went well. Beer was definitely on the agenda after that! We do need an emoticon for it.
I'm sure you'll be fine, I was only messing.
This is comforting to know. I am worried about agism in the UK, I'll just have to see what the job market is like when I graduate.
Can you just apply for your CEng interview once completing your EngD? I've seen that some EngD courses are accredited and some aren't and the Engineering Council's site wasn't exactly clear on it.
Have you already stated the process?
Found out I passed my CEng today! I applied almost straight after completing the EngD. There was a bit of delay after they completed the review of the paperwork as one person was ill so it took 7 months in total from application date to getting the results.
Congratulations!
I'm coming up to the end of the first year of my PhD (Chemistry) and it's starting to get hectic, so I'm finally getting an appreciation for the stress everyone else has gone through!
PhDs do not limit your options. All doors remain open, in academia and business (except for minimum wage jobs for which you are labelled 'overqualified'). Having said that, I gained ten years of commercial experience between my degree and PhD which made it much easier to go back into business after.

Epic! Well done dude!
Edit - Didn't OCUK used to have a Beer Emoticon? Can we please have this back Spie?
Thanks. It hasn't been easy getting this far, but well worth it. Beer emoticon, yes please!
