Quote:<b, 21<b, 21Congratulations to Dr. Byram!!! I've been there, done that so I know the diligence and perseverance that it takes to complete a dissertation (and doctoral study). Now she has to make those final changes and deal with the "ruler Nazi" at the graduate school.
What is her field of study? Where will she go from here, academia? I wish her well in her new career.<b, 21<b, 21Congratulations to you too, for I'm sure your support and encouragement were key components of her success. My wife (girlfriend and eventually fiancee at the time) helped a great deal, even assisted me in collecting dissertation data. That's love right there, and I'm sure she'd highlight your supportive role as well.<b, 21<b, 21Peace,<b, 21<b, 21Big Stacks from Kakalak

Congrats.....<b, 21<b, 21Now please ask her to start making $250+ ASAP so she can bail my poor ass out.
Congratulations! What do you do, may I ask? I'm only asking because I'm a DJ and when people ask me what my wife does and I say "She's an attorney" people always bug. But yeah, that's really great stuff. I felt the same way when my wife graduated law school, and then passed The Bar. An amazing accomplishment and I think people often overlook the work and stress that goes into it. Lord knows the 3+ years of law school was tough as hell on her, and us. Plus not to discount the fact that for those 3 years I was the sole bread winner of the house... but now everything is GRAVY!<b, 21<b, 21Congrats again to you and your wife.

<b, 21<b, 21<b, 21<b, 21She's not going to leave you, right? If Seinfeld taught us anything, it's that the dream of becoming a doctor is dumping whoever you're with and finding someone better. <b, 21<b, 21For real though, congratulations. I'm in school (on some way more minor shit) so I know what the grind is like. Props.
Quote:<b, 21<b, 21<b, 21I'm an engineer too (M.E.), but just a regular-ass one. She's definitely waaay smarter than me. Anyway thanks for the kind words, it's been a long haul.
Congrats. My Girl is writing her doctoral thesis right now. So, basically it gives her a pass to have emotional ups & downs whenever she wants. To her defence she does work a few jobs on the side which makes things a little more complicated time wise. Plus, she has to make sure I'm fed and bathed.

Is there a role for a PhD in the applied sector in her field? There isn't much premium given in applied business-related fields for a PhD, so I wonder if that situation translates into the aerospace area. I would guess it's useful for design research in the defense industry.<b, 21<b, 21Peace,<b, 21<b, 21Big Stacks from Kakalak
