Guys,

I have a full-time job and I have just completed my MBA. I am contemplating taking the final leap towards a PhD. Could you assist with the following noob questions?

1) How did you know you were ready for it in spite of all the challenges ?
2) Research topic - where do you find your inspiration? Many-a-time you may wanna answer a research question but various factors will dictate that that question may not be the one you end up doing.
2a) How often is it that you would have to find a compromise between what you want to research and other factors (supervisors' direction etc)?
3) Is everyone taking it full-time/scholarship recipients?
4) Is everyone planning to be a lecturer full-time after your PhD?
5) I am interested in doing a PhD related to business studies, any idea where I can find resources for good research topics? =)

Cheers.

Hope to hear from you guys!
