Congratulations Dr Sven.

Are you going to change your C9 name? Big Smile

Figuring out what to do next is often a tricky task after finishing a PhD; having been so focused on your goal you suddenly realise that there is an 'afterwards' and it's already arrived. On my graduation day, my mother said to me "Well, you've now spent 15 years chasing this PhD dream; what now?" And I thought "Oh, sh*t, I don't have a plan." So I would say you should take time and make a plan. Going from focusing on the target of getting a PhD to suddenly not having a target can be a major upset to your life, so set yourself a target and don't allow yourself to just drift.

Given that your PhD is in a practical subject I would say the world is your oyster; you can go into postdoctoral research or you can go commercial (aka getting a real job).

PhD in Philosophy or Computer Science? 

, ZippyV wrote

Philosophy?

PhD (or DPhil, if you come from Oxford) stands for "Doctor of Philosophy" but is the name used for most doctorate level research degrees to distinguish them from medical doctors. Occasionally doctorates are issued under other names (e.g. EngD - engineering doctorate) but these are usually broadly equivalent (confusingly with the exception of the DSc (Doctor of Science) which is a higher doctorate, and rarely encountered (even more confusingly what is now a PhD was historically (pre 19th century) known as a DSc)) to a PhD.

Plus the exact meaning and usage of all these terms varies with both time and place.

(The title doctor of philosophy makes sense if you remember that in olden days just about everything was either "philosophy" (arts and humanities) or "natural philosophy" (science and maths).)

@GoddersUK: Don't forget an MD - a Doctor of Medicine, which is another type of doctorate that requires 6 years of education. You can get a PhD in Medicine but it's pretty rare.

But, to add to the confusion, a Doctorate of Medicine isn't required to be a medical doctor (in the UK, at least). Rather the requisite qualifiation for that is the MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) (which is also a prequisite to undertake an MD). However a US MD is equivalent to a UK MBBS. Moreover, at a few universities, an MD is apparently the medical equivalent of a DSc, rather than the more traditional research degree it is elsewhere.

We really need to simplify our HE system...

Because in the 16th Century when surgeons were barber-surgeons they didn't have a medical degree. When the College of Surgeons received its royal charter, the Royal College of Physicians insisted that candidates must have a medical degree first. Therefore an aspiring surgeon had to study medicine first and received the title Doctor. Thereafter, having obtained the diploma of Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons he would revert to the title "Mr" as a snub to the RCP. 

Can I has a cheevo?
