    @Aruralreader What is a industry postdoc? Either you make an internship prior to finish a PhD or you get a proper job in industry. Getting the first job is the hard part.

    There are postdoctoral programs in industry, I can vouch for that. Have a look at companies with substantial R&D interests. Commented Jun 3 at 15:24
  • I've seen people get a MS in a relate field along the way to their PhD. Most commonly, I've seen people get MS in Statistics, which is a similar situation to yours. Commented Jun 3 at 18:19
  • Is Pursuing a Part-Time Social Science PhD While Doing a STEM Master's a Good Idea or Just a Waste of Time? If you think you can pass Calculus... and the 2~3 classes after that, then why aren't you going for a degree in engineering?
