Thank you for a good post. Schooling, colledging and then PhDing – even after this your studying are not finishing as you should learn whole life!

Thank you that was insightful. I’ve been contemplating returning to school and getting my PhD. I’ve been out of “school mode” for about 4 years now and I’m turning a grey 37 years old.

I have been wanting to go for my PhD in fine arts, but have been afraid to even try to get my PhD. I have been really worried that I would become overwhelmed by the whole process. Now that I have read this though I am feeling as if I can do it. I will give it a go and use your advice. Thanks a lot.

So agree with you. Having a plan during your PhD is a must, and separating the literature into smaller ‘essays’ was a great move. Many PhD students get bogged down not knowing what to do and when and this looks like you conquered those obsticles. I think you learn more about yourself too, when you plan something similar as this, you can see a direction and head straight for it.

Hi James,

I too am interested in the conclusions of your phd on MicroGeneration, rather than the study process – if you’d like to share any findings you think would be of particular interest, feel free to drop by our microGeneration Forums.

I am interested in the actual essay you wrote on “Metering for Microgeneration”. It is the subject I would like to discuss, not your study process.
You can contact me through my website if you are interested in exploring this subject area further.
