Personally i think it is...starting mine very soon @Maka been also planning to start soon. Not sure which is the best university (Local or foreign). any leads?? Locally...ummmh honestly I dont know how the Phd,s are...was casting my net further...read this... www.jobs.ac.uk/careers-a...-phd-at-a-uk-university/ @Maka Asante - very insightful. The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem

Exactly... because i do intend to do my phd and it wont be "to have a stepping stone to a better job"..... Noooooo. Just to learn. And in the future, when i am all free and retired, i will go to teach, and it wont be for money, just to transfer the knowledge i have and will have acquired to help the future generation. I have an option of taking to the grave though, but God willing, i prefer not to.
