[Rhodes22-list] Roger now ,,,,

Sun Jul 25 09:47:40 EDT 2004

Ed,

I think I'm going to graduate next month & see how I make out in the job
market before I consider anything like going back to school again for a PhD.
As much as I enjoy going to school & lifelong learning, I need to get a job
& get on with my life.

Roger
