I'd have done the same.
Except I couldn't stand research, and besides no-one was interested, as I didn't have industrial experience.

Which I couldn't get because I didn't have any more the bare minimum in previous experience. *head in hands*

Well what I've hopefully got, interview went well,
is an EngD, which is like a PhD with industrial experience, means I get a foot in the door with industry and become Dr Nick. Bonus!

Also working in holland is always a plus aswell :D
