OT: What do you do for a living & how did you get there?

In many ways it is, and I see lots of interesting and practical control solutions coming out of universities -- it just doesn't seem that way when I read the IEEE publications.

More than one of my favorite profs kept 'consultant' as one of the titles in their portfolios of jobs -- they were probably my favorites because they were grounded in reality, come to think of it.

I started teaching computer science as a university instructor at age

  1. For that job, the only requirement was a Master's degree in something (one of the best senior instructors had a degree in Botany, IIRC). I lasted three years until I got another full-time embedded software job at about 3 times the salary.

The demands of teaching do greatly limit your time available for interesting research. For this reason, a lot of PhD professors don't really like teaching very much.
