(continued)

For the computer science PhD I will need to build an item of computer software and see how useful it is in teaching people things. I can't programme - yet! So I will have to teach myself and that is a bit of a gamble as to whether I will succeed from an ability point of view and a motivation pint of view. I haven't done it before I don't know how easy it will be. Also and there may always be 16 year olds who know 5 languages and can programme better than me. Therefore it may be difficult for me to be the top of my field? However there is alot of gov funding for research into computer science, which could be handy when I finish. However it may be difficult for me to get a job in industry without a first degree in computer science and not being an expert programmer? Maybe it will lead to a well paid job in industry, as computer science is generally well paid?

Hi,
I have been offered two PhD's one in Computer Science (doing psychology of computing) and the other doing Health (Excercise Physiology). I am interested in both of them but I am not sure how to choose between them.

(I am also waiting to hear back about a PhD measuring the competence of health professionals and the difference between their own perception of their competence. I would also evaluate their training in terms helping them to obtain competence).
