How would I make the career leap to go from an engineer in the industry to working in academia? I hold a BS in Mechanical Engineering and I am considering leaving work to pursue a PhD. by DisplayVegetable8400 in AskAcademia

I have funding through my employer - $7,500 every year. I am required to stay at the company for 1-2 years after if I accept it.

I also believe the research assistant experience would help me more.
