the reason for my PhD?

refer to this article:

http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/

i just wanna add another dent in the world knowledge. PhD is the only place in the modern world where a mere mortal can leave his mark forever. i mean, we cant build pyramids anymore, can we? lol.

But to make the contributions forever .. not everyone can make it even with the current professor level ... too many journal that I found already out of date and irrelevant especially in technology sad.gif

But for your area, a lot of physical things can be built for a longer time ... brows.gif

For Msc, i think there is a variation of 1 year (mixed mode), 1.5 years and 2 years depend on your supervisor. Grant is optional, again, depend on your supervisor. Ya, funding issue are prevalent; that's why it most advisable to find for scholarship.

Just applied MyMaster, you already deduct RM 10K for school fees, and additional 1500 for thesis. And applied other scholarship during that time too. brows.gif

Seriously, it's really hurt inside when any opinion or cases study (despite it's relevant) rejected or looked down just because lack of experiences ... lucky only one month left ... sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif

U doing mba? No wonder, cos many who do mba or by coursework are working people.

I did masters by research, so not much problem with this working experience issue. As long as i know how to conduct research, problem solved. Even those working seniors need me to help them in research methodology...

So your convo is this year eh?

I'm doing MM (IT), core MBA subjects with IT as electives. But still, I've to admit .. 97% of my classmates including MBA is working people. But, what is wrong of doing PhD without experience? Isn't that at worst, I can get a job as a lecturer if no one want me to be a researcher? hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif

Still easy to get a job? No? hmm.gif

To top it all off, most of the good lecturers (who you would definitely want to supervise you), disagree with the direct PhD program, some of them insisting that you do a 5-year course (effectively a Masters + PhD, but the Masters dissertation is not required to be submitted).

Most of the lectures I know are suggesting to any students to do direct PhD instead of doing Master. The reason, wasting time . hmm.gif
