I have recently started an MPhil/PhD in virtual environment interaction. For all intents and purposes though I am an engineer; I generally have a good understanding of how things work. I have usually stuck to technology, when people ask me what I do I usually say I poke things with a screwdriver until they work, which is fairly accurate lol. I am good a researcher on top of that, so the progression to stay in academia seemed like the logical solution.

When I leave, many years from now, I would love to get a job that combines these skills. I would love to either work for a company developing new technologies, or at a University teaching or researching.

And what is that, something with computers and virtual reality research I assume? In what institution and subject field is your doctorate exactly? And your professors, in which discipline are they?

I'll PM you about what I'm doing, I don't like giving out personal details on a forum.
