content: Yes, since I was born. Besides I currently go to a trade high school for electronics. How many years after a masters in EE does it take to get a PhD as I might want that for later use and a just in case thing ?

content: Normally 4 years for a phd. and 2 for a masters. however if you're slow on your thesis, you might take longer, or very rarely, less (unlikely).there's also the special case of phd without a masters, where you're bumped into a phd program after your first year in the masters program
