Good thoughts thanks. I'm working on the research and have amassed quite a collection of publications from which I have written several papers and presentations. I have some original research that I'd like to pursue in addition. Much of it seems pursuable as psychological research. I wouldn't, however, be a full-time student or researcher. Academia? Maybe later. The general curriculum and research opportunities seem so savory in experimental psychology, but you raise a good point. I know what will pay the bills best, and it's not research psychology.
