Info about me:<p>- 44 year old, wife and a 3 years old
- Wife is pregnant with our second child (probably bad news for doing a phd)
- My background is mainly Networking (Juniper/Cisco..etc)
- I work full time, but job is not stressful and does pay well
- No backgroung in programming, although I started learning react recently<p>I need advice on two things:<p>- How hard will the PHD be with no background in programming. I think I can pick up the algos/data structure and I was good at math.<p>- How much time per week will I need?<p>I'm aiming for a part-time phd which will be over the course of 6 years to complete.
