Hi all, I would really appreciate any advice here.

Recently I've been offered 2 scholarships; one is to study Masters in Taiwan, the other is to do PhD in USM.

For Masters, I would be bonded to work with the company sponsoring me for 4 years. Its a Taiwanese company, and I'll be working in the Malaysian branch. Allowance is given. It's a mixed mode programme, where I'll be undertaking classes as well as research. smile.gif

I am really unsure which path to take at the moment. If I'm not particularly inclined to become a lecturer in the future, PhD is not necessary, right?

Also, I am worried about the job prospects upon graduating as a PhD. sad.gif

Oh yeah...the field I'll be doing is Food Tech. smile.gif

Any comments would be deeply appreciated!

This is like 8 months ago, so wondering what did you choose?

Either one would be great, I am presuming you already had a Degree at the time of posting. If you are not inclined to be a lecturer, then I bet you should be in Taiwan now and a guarantee of a 'bond', which is like guaranteed job waiting for you upon graduation, good deal!
