I have been in the academe for almost a year and I have enjoyed teaching so much. But time will come when you have to work on the business world in Research and Development. I have one more year to stay here in the Philippines so I'm doing the best I could on my work. Can anyone give me an insight of what to expect in this field? Thanks in advance! :)

Edited: I'd be one of the developers.

I happen to have stiff muscles at my shoulders and I'm having this pain for three days now. My students in eleven groups are having their Pre-Oral Defense till Wednesday and Final Defense after a week, I'm hopeful they'll survive the pressure.
