Wow! I was about the post a very same message! So I cant help you, but add my issues here, if its okey. My concern is a bit different though, I was wondering if I was too old for this? I mean, I feel that many phD students are graduaets from masters and never try business, so there would be an age gap. And I want to do phD because I feel that I am trough working for others, and I think I would love researching learning and teaching. But I dont want to be an outsider oldie, and I dont want to compete with 20 sometings. I am 30 years old and pregnant. Maybe I should stick with the job I have but I really do not want to give up something I want because of my circumstances
