This last three or four months, life has been a literal fucking ball.
But I had my epiphany, today, at work ... two hours after talking with one of the analog designers (a PhD) about more school ... and more school. Earlier in the week, I had advised an old friend to always take the high road and that's what I intend doing.
I'll take the advice of Prof. KB and take a few non-degree classes in power. Then I'll apply to four schools for either MS or PhD next fall. If admitted into any of these schools, I'll leave my well paying job in semiconductor (yes, I wasnt affected by the layoffs ... lucky SOB that I am) which I've gradually grown to be bored with and head back to school.
Fun times!!!
This is Rude.
