Hi Rob,
Yes, I have often pondered that if or when I complete my Masters (and other pre-requisites) what would I do for a PhD? To be frank I have no idea what would constitute the required 'new science'.
Not to upset any pro's out there but I would imagine that there are varying levels of Professionals - from the Genius to the run of the mill. I would imagine that the average amateur may think that all Pro's are geniuses - I do not believe they are. (I think it would be like saying all doctors or all lawyers etc are geniuses).
Most are just average guys who spend years working, researching and teaching, many collaborating at the bleeding edge of knowledge but not certainly not leading it. As we have discussed before, everyone has their niche and collaborations do not choose everyone with the same level of skill and knowledge in the same area - I would imagine doing so would lead to a great many arguments :-)
Cheers
