Advanced degree
(OP)
I am considering going back to school to earn my doctorate. I currently have my masters in structural engineering. Do you think it would benefit me I'm afraid it will limit my job opportunities.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

In better times, I have been guilty of filtering resumes based on masters degrees and experience. But a PhD has never carried much weight for an entry level position. For a management position an MBA (my preference) might make a more well rounded professional.
I find with my industry/spec committee involvement the groups are very divided between academia (PhD's) and practicing professionals. And the individuals rarely overlap. But, there are some very talented exceptions.
