Hi,

I quit my PhD research 4years ago because of Visa Issues and family (spent 3.5years in the research with some breaks)

I got a good job offer and the company was happy to sponsor me so I quit my PhD as I would not have been able to combine both.

I initially asked for a break which was never approved and I later got the email that I was no longer a student

Now, I am in a better place and want to get a PhD.

Should I go back to my former school to see if they will accept me and I don't have to start from scratch? or go somewhere else

My research will evolve to include my current role.

Advice? Thoughts?

Hi,

I developed a framework to aid micro businesses for my PhD
I need to ascertain that they understood my terminologies (Most of them) and it is clear and will suit them via interviews.
I am hoping to first explain the concept before asking them questions relating to the framework.

HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOULD I INTERVIEW?

After the interviews, I will amend/redesign the framework if need be.

Then I hope to implement the framework in some micro businesses.

CAN I IMPLEMENT IT IN JUST 3 BUSINESSES?

Thanks
