Abstract

Industry provides many opportunities for Ph.D. graduates, from a researcher in research laboratory to a manager in business strategy. You just need to find the right industry to go to. It can be the industries related to your research area or other industries where you can apply your technical and non-technical skills. This chapter would discuss about these opportunities.

Veni, vidi, vici. (I came, I saw, I conquered.).

—Gaius Iulius Caesar
