    Not the responses I expected!
    Anti - academic stance I can understand but I wonder how that sits with a more professional image of "creative people". I wonder if you need to have academic study of a subject going on in order to boost the professional practice's status. Not saying you need to do it to be any good, just saying someone should be doing it so that the industry gains a degree of respectability.
    You can't do a PhD in taxi driving can you? So being able to gain a PhD in an area may boost it's standing with everyone even those who don't go to university.
    Would be doing a design based course anyway; and yes thinking about teaching.
