If you have an understanding partner, then it should be okay.

If your partner is someone immature, then there will be trouble.

Don't have kids during your PhD unless someone is willing to look after them for you all the time

Most of the people I know with PhDs have partners so I think it should be okay!

The are things you don't do because you don't have a partner yet. Find the chemistry of love!

Anyone can share about available scholarship for Phd program? Especially offer for Business/Human Resource/Physchology fields program in oversea..or Scholarhisp for Phd itself is given regardless of study field?

Need to find out some info on this in order to prepare for it..

Thanks for the sharing..

Tried Google yet? Not trying to mock you here, but from first hand experience, if you don't know anyone in your target department in your target university, Google is your best friend.

For example, just by searching "psychology phd scholarship" in Google, I have found links to scholarship offer from New Zealand, UK, US, etc.

my fault..thinking to find the direct answer (with a link to website offering scholarhip something like that) based on people who experienced getting scholarship before..

Will do the Google by myself..

I've been there before.

Well, to get you going, I think this webpage might be helpful to you.

wow reading this forum got so many macam macam comments. Mostly sick ones minus the humour

Not many people who take phd to make money right? Most of them are taking it for the sake of knowledge and prestige.

Those who wish to get more and better pay settled at master or degree. U hardly see a ceo or cfo or even coo with a phd. I've never seen one.

So before u taking a phd just decide what would the phd do good to u.

A PMP-certified Project Manager with doctorate degree can make a very handsome amount of money, you know.

Ir. Dr. Mui Kai Yin is one of the Vice Chairmen of the Institution of Engineers, Malaysia (Penang Branch), who has the PMP credential.

Haha yes i know, i'm looking forward to sit for PMP exam myself by next year and i dont have a phd

OK! Good luck with PMP journey. Make sure you refer to the latest PMBOK® Guide, 5th Edition.

Thanks i hope from time to time i can ask u around about it, if that's ok with u

I'm looking forward to a phd. I really like the thrill of knowledge and getting recgnition for it. Money is secondary to me.

Hopefully this is a good enough reason to get a PhD lol.

Would you tell us your field of specialization?

zoomckng,

If you believe that, why do you need a piece of paper like Phd in order to learn??

brightjoey,

That means you DO NOT LOVE what you are learning. Or else, you will do it for FREE.

People that really LOVE knowledge do it for the FUN of it. They do not care whether they get any recognition or paper out of it.

I have thousands of books at home. It covers religion, philosophy, culture, history, and so on... I spent 20+ years of my free time on System Theory. I do it for the FUN of it.

So, what have you LEARN without getting a piece of paper??

What kind of knowledge is that knowledge you have a thrill of excitement runs through your body?

Most knowledge can be acquired through autodidactism or self-directed learning via scientific articles, textbooks, media reports, pseudoscientific writings, or advertisements. However, some new and promising knowledge can only be acquired, verified and validated through research, countless hours of experiments, and repeated numerical analysis.

PhD programs are generally tailor-made for students who plan to pursue an academic research career, though some students hope to become practitioners in their chosen field. The bottom line is, make sure the content of the PhD program intrinsically interest you for the next 3 years and above.

Did I say we need PhDs in order to learn?

Better read my sentence again to understand it.
