I have not written for quite awhile, mostly because I did not have much that was interesting to say. Hopefully, that has changed although I think my topic is going to be only interesting to a small select group of people. That topic is the starting of a PhD that will almost certainly not be completed until after I retire in the next 4-5 years. I will list a few of the topics I hope to cover in this first post:

  • My educational trajectory and how much or little of that applies to the PhD
  • My career trajectory and how much or little that applies to the PhD
  • How I got started on volunteer work that opened the PhD opportunity
  • What I needed to do to get accepted into the PhD program
  • My specific PhD program
  • What I want to do with the PhD after I get it
