My experience over the last 7 years has been where PhD's work in the marketing, sales and management roles of the company as well. These other roles are just as technical and generally benefit from a strong scientific mind especially when interfacing with technical customers. <br /><br />My other experience with the 'pure' research side of physics in Europe, is that most of the funding revolves around projects that have clear applications and ways that industry and the academy can be married to produce a measurable result. I feel that in some ways this leaves one with physics projects that are essentially engineering, with out the expertise of proper engineers. <br /><br />my 2 bits<br /><br />joshJoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367506937986921002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34480619.post-19920671870567976742009-05-23T17:54:22.166-05:002009-05-23T17:54:22.166-05:00Thanks for the tip!Thanks for the tip!Successful Researcher: How to Become Onehttp://aclinks.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
