I have no doubt they screwed you out of a degree and a lot of money. That really sucks, but the knowledge and ideas are still yours. A PhD qualifies you for ONE job - teaching at a college or university. There is nothing stopping you from taking your ideas to and doing something with them. <br /><br />On the other hand, it's harder to get paid for that outside of academia. I'm working on a book myself, but not making much progress.Dan Eastwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105563883467108602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5737853305204847838.post-91757464014814736122011-12-10T14:46:12.121+00:002011-12-10T14:46:12.121+00:00From the quote above, "Five years is not a lo...From the quote above, "Five years is not a long time to invest in something. By the time we have something accredited, we will be going on to the next thing," according to Dubow.<br /><br />1) Fix your accreditation process. It is a bureaucratic nightmare and a jobs program for so-called Information Assurance experts who wouldn't know the difference between a SQL injection attack and a cross-site scripting vulnerability.<br /><br />2) Welcome to reality. In the real world, successful enterprises are leaning forward in the saddle, planning and designing the Next Big Thing before the Last Big Thing has even been released. Steve Jobs died the day after the iPhone 4S was released. He was working on the iPhone 5 (rumored to be released next year) and a five-year roadmap for Apple's products. DICE, the developers behind Battlefield 3 (the best of the mass-market tactical action games), have been working on expansion packs since before the game itself was released and I would imagine that some of them have next-gen console prototypes from Microsoft and Sony in a room running some amazing tech for Battlefield 4. Heck, we have a five-year product roadmap at my little startup and our first product hasn't even been released yet.<br /><br />-- GuardianGuardianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542545242493905390noreply@blogger.com
