Hello folks:

So I've been contemplating doing a PhD in Physics for some time now. I'm just finishing a MS in Electrical Engineering from a top school after a BS in Physics from a state school; chose the EE program because i was able to do it while working.

Anyone know of any good companies and schools that are good for doing a PhD while working?
