      I did a 3 year undergraduate degree, a 1 year Masters, and then a PhD (which should have taken 3 years, but actually took about 4.5 years!). And although doing a PhD is technically “studying”, in many ways it’s like a job!

      I was at school for 14 years, then 4 years of university doing a MEng degree, then 4 years of PhD which is somewhere between studying and doing a job.
      I think I am still studying now in my job, I am always learning new things

      I completed 3 degrees which took me 9 years to complete. As Alex said, this is a field where you are always learning new things, so it often feels like you are still studying!
