And, they better pay alot...
Good PhD's do field work.

As Indiana Jones said, "You have to get out of the library and into the field", I think a lot Phd's realize that. Now training for a year, preparing for being shot at, and in general being in harms way, that might be a problem. That and what I am coming to find as a military culture that is extremely hostile to anybody who has even a wee bitty amount of education.. Where did I put my beer?
