internship - Can I work as a software engineer and be a PhD student?


I'm a master student, my master's background is about IT, signal processing, and Telecommunications. It's a "research master", which means that we're trained more to do research than be an IT engineers/specialists.


I've made my choice because I want to do research, but It is also important for me to work after my masters graduation, some of my professors always say that it's very difficult, even impossible to do those two things together. So I'd like some more advice. Here are my questions:



  • Is it practically possible to do research and work?


  • Is it a good idea to work for a year or two after my masters, and start a PhD after that?

  • What kind of internships can I do, and how long should they be, so I can apply to IT companies?


PS: I've some background ans skills in Java technologies, software design, web development, and basic knowledge in networks.
