sac, that what was what I was getting to vis a vis a PhD program before tetris jumped on me. Flexibility and higher end work at places like Shaw. I disagree with you regarding the emphasis on full ride, it is more economic to take a loan for $60,000 and get into the workforce than linger in a doctoral program for 4 years because of a free ride. Of course, you have made it clear that this is only one reason.

I examined the curriculums of Stanford, Chicago, Cornell, CMU yesterday. They all need math almost to a minor or major level and if you do stats or engineering etc they insist on math up to PDE and Real Analysis. Can someone enlighten me as to what Real Analysis is and how it differs from what is described as Modern Analysis. And also what would be prereqs for this course. Thanks.
