      It gives me all the options that doing a degree gave me, plus some extras. The PhD is a way of being trained in how to carry out a big research project. I will then be able to get a job doing more research and development for a company. It also opens up academic jobs, so I could keep working in a university doing research, or start doing some lecturing as well as carrying on with the research.
      At the moment I like the idea of becoming a lecturer so I can teach as well as carrying on with research that interests me.

      I am not doing a PHd but if I did then I would be called Dr Stafford Allen, which would be cool. However I missed my chance when I was younger.
