u mean electronics?

No, tectonics = a study of the movement of Earth's tectonic plates -> its a geology subject

tectonic study where? Is it related to the oil and gas industry?

Tectonics can be applied to oil and gas ind. at the exploration stage, mining or earthquake prediction - for starters.

Why do I get the feeling that after these YDPA scholars get their degrees, they won't come back to MY?

Easy question
1. More money out there
2. Less restrictions from society/government (academics in general tend to be left leaning folks, in contrast to more right leaning people who dominate this country)

22 already taking phd? that's so young..but i doubt the quality of your thesis writings..since you're still very young & short of experience..

Quality of writing has nothing to do with "life experience". Its determined by your command of language and understanding of the subject. If say a 15 year old "child genius" has an excellent command of the language of writing (I'm assuming its English here), he could write something on par with a 50 year old on the same subject, provided the subject is a wholy theoretical one.

It's not life experience but the knowledge that one acquired either theoretical or hands on where one understands what he wants ( that's where working world exposure comes in) & knows what to research (why do u think previous generation professors took their phd later?) That is when the phd content is a "mature' in terms writings & content..but as we know..who wants to read up 300+ pages or more research paper.

Most professors who do their PhD first before working, not the other way around.
