Hi John
having completed my Masters part time over 5 years while working full time I
have been ban from doing my PhD until after my divorce. Not only hard work
for you but also on partner and family. Currently my PhD is on hold. Unless
you are teaching and you can do it through your job I agree with everyone
else - full time study and part time work

>> I have been advised that an MPhil/PhD would be a good idea but probably
>> need to do some MSc modules first. To do this is obviously very time
>> consuming both hours per week and in number of years. To manage this I

>> work studying.
>> Does anyone have any ideas as to the best way of achieving these goals?
>> Anyone want to share there experiences from a similar situation?
