Random Thought #42

Wow!!! Its been quite awhile since I last posted anything on my blog. Many of you have asked if I was still doing my blog and I'm grateful because that means somebody is still checking it. For those of you who have been looking forward to my randomness, I'm sorry. I've been kinda busy. We had a new son recently along with family visits and my grandpa passing away so I haven't had much free time to write down my thoughts. I have been thinking though and I thought I would share a little interesting nugget of information I found out today. When talking about doctoral degrees from a university, MD means Medical Doctorate, JD means Judicial Doctorate, but does anyone know what the Ph in a PhD stands for? Well, today I found out it stands for Philosophy. That's right. Doctorate of Philosophy. Interesting huh!! How did I stumble across this little bit of information? Well, I've recently had an epiphany as to what I want to be when I grow up. I'd like to be a university professor or chemical engineering or physics or something like that. Just learn and teach. Getting kinda fed up with the 8-5 routine. So I'm looking at going back to school. Since my current degree is in IT, I need to start from scratch, but this time do it with 3 kids, wife, house, and full time employment. No problem right? Well, at least I can get the company to pay for it, now its just a matter of finding the time. Oh Dear!!
