As i said Lim Goh tong got luck,courage to RISK,smart,n more hardworking than his PHD employee.

If u never try,100% u wont be RICH.If u tried,at least some chance to became Wealthy.
If i got >10K per month wif my PHD,i quite satify for myself...Y still need to risk for RICH.
But if i a SPM,i had to risk for success,becoz i juz wont lose anything...when u risk,u not only can be success,u can be RICH too tongue.gif (But out of 100,how many r successful n how many stay <3k?) cry.gif

If a PHD+ part time MLM, wow this guy can fly biggrin.gif

Because some people study for the sake of interest and self-improvement.

Not necessarily for money.

doing my mba now at the moment.
Although its for career, but in the long term is I am adding value to myself with knowledge.

To TS,
I know you could earn that much, but that doesnt mean u know much.
In MBA, there are many type of people from different industries, u can go in mix around, sometimes, its an eye opener.
Something u may not know all this while, but as in the class discussions, u may learn something new.

I know many high level people did. smile.gif

Moral of the story, don't believe conmen. People often use Phd's or degrees or Masters as a way to convince(more like con) people to buy into their crap. It is more likely they are running around with fake titles. Whether it is an investment scheme or a new MLM scheme(or whatever), I can bet they will do everything they can to try to convince you.

Always questions people's claims/credentials if you find them suspicious(in fact always do a background check, it's safer...too many fake degrees, and fake Dr's in Malaysia).

Malaysian education definition is investment in financial security...While the true education is otherwise...If u study because u hope to get a good job, nothing wrong with that...but u are an idiot i suppose...Many idiots in malaysia think that the higher education they go, the merrier it was to earn money...We all do agree that most people in malaysia study not forsake of knowledge itself, but the advantage they could get from been knowledgable...That's why We all study more than others in other Countries...However, we still categorize as 3rd Class minded citizen because our wrong perception of education and knowledge...Well Done Malaysian

YES... this is what I realise... uneducated people tend to have this attitude.. "well, there`s nothing to lose"

while many educated people might think... 'what IF I lose it all?? better play safe.. "

Either way, both involves risk. It just depends on how high is the risk taken.
If LGT didn't take the risk having the "well, there's nothing to lose", there wouldn't be Genting Highlands today which turns out to be an international attraction. Something Malaysia should be proud of(being the one and only casino). Besides the fact that it's built on a hill.

it's more than just WOW!

A question to PhD holders

1. Would you guys quit studying when you see money?(for instance MLM which supposedly can earn 6 figure income a month)

2. When you have studied so hard to get into PhD level with years of experience in your studies, would you just quit it completely?

To me, it doesn't make any sense, why would you study so high when you can start earning that money right after finish your SPM or a little higher education right? Once you are at a PhD level, you wouldn't just leave it, like dropping what you studied to do MLM, you would like do research and stuff like that.

What do you Master's degree or PhD holders think?

I'm just so confused.

Thanks.

Passion.

That's what some have. Others want money, but some are truly passionate about that field and as such aspire to know as much as possible in it.

for example.... Lim Goh tong doesnt have a degree or even SPM, but he got all the PhD to work for him..

who is more brilliant? the uneducated boss or the PhD employee?  hmm.gif
else, how do you think he could sell his products?

The counter intuitive answer: the PhD employee.

Because you're implicitly using the money metric to determine 'brilliance' when many other metrics could be used.

That isn't the point. The point is that you're conflating in different metrics and trying to compare them when they measure different things.

Dear Thread Starter,

To answer your question, you must foremost understand the fundamental of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. You can get the answer from there.

Regards, Joey

Thanks. I briefly read through Maslow's Theory. It is somehow directly related with my question.
Thanks again.

True, so you wouldn't dump everything when you see businesses like MLM which gets you 6 figure income, I mean quit your studies/job right?

Fallacy, does MLM guarantee a 6 figure income? Not necessarily. However, that is not the focus here, no?

As said, to study till the level of Masters or PhD is mostly for the seeking of of knowledge and self-improvement. In some cases it was to be promoted to higher position; such as taking MBA, or to become a lecturer.
