"Are you a Muslim? Really?... Were you sworn in under the Koran?"

Prove to me you are a muslim and don't eat this bacon!

Alright, eat the bacon...

DOOOON'T EAT THE BACON.

So I've been toying with the idea of a doctorate since I've now finished my masters. I just got an email from the Uni sent to selected students based on their area of study and academic achievements telling me the DSTO want to take a group of students in to do their PhD and want to show some around the DSTO to see if there are any areas of research that pique their interest for them to do their PhD there with mentors/grants/scholarships.

Can't say i'm not a little excited at the thought, there are so many areas of research that interest me there. I can handle the four years of shit pay. I certainly signed the **** up immediately for the visit.

Nice, it's great to do for interest etc. but, you will ALWAYS be in negative equity with it. There is little value outside of personal achievement (which should always be enough of course).

When it comes to the positive vetting, admit up front that you're a Port supporter - if you try to hide it that's when they'll know they can't trust you. They will check your BigFooty posting history anyway.

It's been about 5 years since I've been out there - even at the reduced levels there was plenty of interesting stuff going on. There's a bit of movement to and fro at the academic level from time to time and they have done formal collaborations with Adelaide Uni and UniSA in the past, sometimes brokered by a vendor wanting to get a product evaluated under the guise of "research".

What's your rough area of PhD-ery - math/eng or one of the darker arts - would ya have to shoot me if ya told me?

ICT. My undergrad was networking and security, my masters was business information systems. So it's likely that it would be a cyber security related focus, though i'm informed that I shouldn't feel locked into a certain area.

Be honest Doctor Feel, legitimising your BigFooty username is the number 1 motivation here!

Basically this, it's not going to make a difference to what job you get after uni.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Okay i've been thinking this for a while and it's time I got it off my chest.

Every time DaTBird187 posts I parse his username as Dat Bird and think o shit waddup!

When I was applying for jobs out of uni basically I got through to the final 3 at this business from a huge bunch, get to meet the GM as he's doing the final say and I'd heard he was a massive Crows fan, first question was who do you support, I'm like Port. Didn't get the job and considering I was living with the other person in the final 3 who didn't get the job who was also a massive Port fan I figured from this point on it was best to spring it on future businesses by stealth.

You can go anywhere in IT once you are in the door, all the skills translate across a lot of areas.

Toyed with doing the whole PhD thing, too. But yeah, it's really not worth shit in my area. Unless, of course, I wanted to get into academia. FMD, that'd be the same as blowing my f@%king brains out...

Did they play Ramones - Pet Semetery?

I hope so, but not that I seen, I went to bed when we made it in to the 90s and some R Kelly Batman song came on, followed by the Aerosmith Armageddon song.

The union of bands making music for movies sure isn't as strong as it used to be.

Cool! There are a couple of divisions that should lap you up. Not sure exactly how they're sliced and diced these days. Re-orgs and the movement of "capabilities" from one division to another used to be an annual sport

I can't say it isn't a factor.

In regards to it having no effect on a job, I've already been employed in my area of expertise for over two years now. I actually did my masters full time while working full time. So I've got some experience already, and if I miss out on this it's no big deal and I very well may end up doing a PhD while I work anyway. I disagree with the comment that it doesn't affect the job at all, it does. These days you can't get into R&D without a doctorate.

And I see that Pissy Chryne is now the Minister for Defence Industry, which probably covers DSTO, so maybe my advice to the would-be doctor is mute.
