Thanks, this does help me.
I have done a MSc, so i think mine would still be 4 years.
I have decided to just get a job, although it would be nice to be a doctor, i feel like i need to move on with my life.
I get the feeling many employers know that anyone with an engD or Phd isnt necessarily smarter than the average graduate, they've just put more work into a specific area. If an employer doesnt value your phd/engD research in that field than your no better off than a masters student.
What salary did you get in the end if you dont mind me asking?
Is it as nice to be a Dr as you'd hoped? I sort of feel like i want to do it just so I can say i've reached the pinacle. Do many people get the ability to do when later in their careers, perhaps with their company?

Hello

I am nearing the end of my MSc. Mechanical Engineering and thinking about doing a engD with a company.

What would people recommend? What is best for my career path in terms of pay scale?
I heard people with an engD can expect around £40 starting salary, but how does this compare to your salary after 4 years in the industry and a grad scheme?

Thank You
