I think for most people it's for money,reputation and interest,very less people actually doing it out of their parents' pressure

QUOTE(highwind85 @ May 31 2010, 01:31 AM) But definitely not because of money...it's faster if you join banking or sales.. I'm sure certain people do pursue a phd merely for the purpose of higher earning ,you know ,due to the false doctrine from the society ---- the higher your academic achievement ,the more money you earnThis post has been edited by ComposMentis: May 31 2010, 11:35 AM |

QUOTE(Belphegor @ Jul 9 2010, 08:38 PM) Reason of me wanting to get a PhD cause I'm majoring in Psychology, want to go deep into child development, for the sake of my future kids or better environment in related field. Still stuck in degree now. this sounds a bit like education essential inquiry , but allow me to ask , what are the job prospects for psychology graduates ? |

QUOTE(Belphegor @ Jul 10 2010, 10:58 AM) Mostly professionals like psychiatrist, researcher on particular stuff, head hunter in bank, etc. I don't know why people are doubting the job opportunity for psychology graduates. Just think this way.. Our community is getting bigger and bigger, means higher chances of people getting depression or some other psychological illness. So why are you worrying about your future jobs? no I am not a psychology graduate , just curious about the job prospects p.s: psychologist is the most needed profession in Malaysia, said by my professor during my times in HELP (2005). Yeah five years ago but the number still never increase cause most of the fresh graduates went overseas. |
