Work, work, work
I'm putting some serious thought into a Masters Degree. UAA offers a MS in Civil Engineering or a Masters of Civil Engineering. The MS would require a thesis, while the MCE would be an extra class with a graduate project. Probably the same work load, so I'd lean towards the MS, since you can't get a PhD without thesis work. I talked with one of my old professors last week, and he said I had the personality for teaching at the college level. High praise, but then I'd have to go on to a PhD for that. More work? Maybe I'll give it time between the two? The more I think about it, the more appealing the idea of being a professor becomes.

interesting!!!!! I can see where it just might beat the slope ;-) good luck whatever you decide!! that would be a heckuva thing for you since you've been out in the field ... you will actually be able to share first hand knowledge! what a concept!! :-)
I think there should be more professors with actual personalities. I say go for it. :) Having worked with many PhDs I have a lot of inside knowledge.
That said, when you finally get to the big time I can give you some pointers on how to interact with staff people without making them insane.
Summers off is never a bad gig. And the pay is decent too.
