PhD or Industrial Experience?
Having banged my head against a brick wall since graduating in september 03 (BEng Aero Eng). Within the last week I have been offered a job with Rolls Royce (control engineering) and have been told that a top UK Uni want me to do a PhD with them.
I was wondering if anyone out there had any experience trying to break into the world of commercial flying after completing a doctorate?
I feel that I should be able to gain my fATPL with 4 years so before I'm 26. Would the Dr title be a disadvantage? (Too academic?)
Thanks for any advice
