Thought of Sharing my Career Crossroad issue:
- Back to School for a PhD (I'd belong to a better environment, but have to wait least 6 years for a decent income) , or;
- Establish a Company for providing Business Solutions based on OpenSource (Good for applying thoughts, Keep my day job, but I would still be in same overall environment), or;
- Emirates employment (lucrative, but have to return to same environment), or;
- Same Job (Dead-end career, financially not enough), or;
- ?
Appreciate any feedback.

I’m not sure what you mean by “same environment”, but here’s my two cents.
If you already have a Bachelor’s degree, forget about the Ph.D. In fact, here in the US most IT companies don’t like Ph.D., unless it’s a research job.
Why don’t you work in the UAE a few years, gain practical experience and save some money, then come back to Egypt and open your own business?

“Same Environment” = Egypt
My Master’s (2) are from UK and US.
Thanks for the 2 cents.
