> I answered you at length in an earlier comment[0], but you never replied, so I don't know what your reaction is to it. Let me be more blunt.
Not responding to your comment earlier didn't mean I didn't consider your input valid, I appreciate it a lot and needed a bit more time to form thoughts. With the reposts I am simply trying to gather more opinions.
As my post, the objective is to turn the research into a product. I realize that it's very probabilistic to find such a research idea, although there have been companies that started this way out of a thesis. In my limited view, going for a PhD would give the freedom to work on a _valuable_ problem (== current industry relevant engineering issue) (a big probability factor-in here) rather than blurting out startup ideas and seeing what sticks.
And hence my focus was, _how_ to look for a tentative problem, or how to even start thinking in that direction.
I understand that a PhD is not the only way (or maybe not at all?). And research is tough investment. But it seems like one way to create something...
