Economy is really not my thing. I really don’t what to know much about anything associated with economy, but this cartoon made me laugh (and think) for a while.

(It’s not mine, I took it from somewhere on the web, and unfortunatelly didn’t keep the author for reference.)
Tomorrow is school day, again. This does not mean that I’ll be starting to attend the SEE program at Stantford University, it just means that my days has a PhD student are about to start.
Two years of working as a software engineer made me realize that experience is very important, and that I have a lot to learn and do before I can call myself a experienced software engineer. I’m working on that issues, trying to read about new methodologies and techniques by myself and learning to apply them in the everyday job.
But there is also some other fields I’d like to improve, a lot more close to research new knowledge than to applied engineering. This is one thing that is seems to be missing from the current job. Let’s see if the ‘part-time’ PhD provides some new insights on other fields of knowledge.
