I hear from people that have phd's and even the occasional mba all the time

Most are over 50 and cant buy a interview

How will they diversify?

Sadly in the corporate world most of the it depts. Are under the cfo

That is because the ivory tower does not feel that they are getting their
money's worth

Diversify.  With your investments  as well as with your skills.

That home needed TLC for the past 15 years and mom didn't want to do it or
trust others to do it for her.  That is why the value was so upside down.
 Every realtor I interviewed had a similar conclusion.  Fix it up for 150K
or sell it at the best you can.  That investment for repair seemed risky
when I am not nearby to manage how progress was coming.

On the flipside in investing you have to either get very involved or have
others who are do it for you.  You can pick stocks because of a common sense
knowledge.  Otherwise somebody has to direct you.

Go back to school.  I am doing that as well.  Finish the Bachelor's and then
get the Masters.  Just spoke with CFO about corporate technology and how we
need to think outside of the box.  Our department is under Finance and for a
manufacturing firm we underserve the production side of the house.
