Re: The human factor in academic planning

I must admit Craig, that seems like an interesting way to go about finding a path in education, but I would think it difficult to go from school to school studying under individuals to acquire the education and training I need to accomplish what I want.

I was recently out and about at the local C.S.U., talking with advisers and coordinators for the various academic programs. I learned a new term that is pertinent to my goals: terminal degree.

Apparently, one needs a Masters of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) or a Philosophical Doctorate (Ph.D.) to get tenure at an American university.

I think I know what subject I want to study for my Ph.D. thesis. I think that Cybernetics would be of greatest benefit to me. I know that MIT is supposed to be really good for that kind of thing, but I also know that India and Japan are supposed to have some top notch computer engineering universities performing research in the area I want to one day pursue.

I already know that I am going to need to learn a second language or more because I
want to study overseas for a year or two, possibly more. My mom gave me the idea of teaching American English as a second language to pay for studying abroad.

I'm putting together a packet that I can give to or send to people. For the first time ever on Hypography I'm going to post a picture of me. Enjoy

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
