Lots of positives here which are good to see. Dissertation / Final Year Project submitted last week, another coursework submitted today. One exam (from home) in two weeks and university will be over... thoughts of a masters have begun to creep in

Ooh well done Matt! My degree was OU so it was all distance learning, I didn’t fancy a masters online though, but a masters is far more rewarding and interesting than an undergrad degree. I really enjoyed mine, did it part-time to fit round my kids, it was full on but very worthwhile.
Then you can do a PhD which is even better

Speaking of PhD...
I know I said to shoot me if I ever mentioned studying again...
But with potentially no full time job from Sept, I'm debating doing a PhD. (Financially it's just about doable).
But i'd also looked at doing a Prof Doc.
Other than Prof doc appearing to have more taught content, does anyone have any opinions on which is best? Pros? Cons etc?
(I still may ask to be shot but I'll toy with the idea a bit longer)

I don't know anything about prof doc. PhD has to be something you love unless you are doing it to get an academic job. I think Fleecy loved hers. I did mine to get a job.

I have no idea about the difference I’m afraid, whether either is useful must depend on your field. If you have a uni and maybe a supervisor in mind I would contact the head of PhDs and ask if a current PhD would like to talk to you. My second supervisor asked me to meet up with a couple of prospective students over the years to discuss what it was like. Choose your supervisor carefully too!

Thank you... not sure why I'm doing it. I've had an idea and there's not much literature on it. Do I love it? Probably not. I don't need it for a job yet either. But may do.
A lot to think about.
