Thanks Tim Poret a lot for this information, I will definitely look this up! If you knoa ahy further information, please let me know, and thanks again!

I am probably going to take a chance asking this question in other sites, e.g. signal processing beta etc.

Sav: Thank you for sharing your experience and your input; your answer is positive, because you tried to point out that one can try gathering some initial experience working in a company and then try to pursue the higher academic platforms in the same area; but I am not sure how practical it is for an academician to switch to different kind of jobs to get into academia again; although if there is no other opportunities,that could be a decent option I suppose. Thanks anyway!
