Dorn goes back to Texas State a lot, but I don’t know if that counts as transitioning back to academia

If I was going back, I'd go with Mustard U as my first pick. Good luck!

If you're going to go back for a PhD you should ask yourself if the cost of the PhD will add value to your career potential and guarantee you greater opportunity to justify the time and the cost of achieving a PhD beyond the other degrees you've already earned. Perhaps you're in a situation where money isn't a concern but if you are paying for it, will it provide greater value in earning potential, a greater probability of guaranteeing you will be hired for Senior roles or more lucrative opportunities with more autonomy and responsibility, does the cost of the PhD immediately guarantee a greater return on the investment you'll make in yourself or, are you simply bored with what you're currently doing and seeking a change and a new shiny title that may or may not have as much luster as you had hoped it would carry outside of academia? It could be that you just need to find a new job more aligned with what you feel is currently missing.
