Added on July 12, 2011, 10:26 pmNope, im just 22. so i couldt accumulate sufficient working experience to sign up for any MBA programe, as the requirement is minimum of 3 years working experience. currently im doing my MMgt. I love to study, and believe in having better knowledge can give me better living and life. Therefore i plan to further my study.

Reason for DBA:
1)Faster way to get "Dr".
2)Lesser research (as i not a hardcore researcher)
3)Not moving into acedamic, but most likely to be in career.

can DBA holder be a consultant or part time lecturer in uni ?

some ppl believe in PhD has higher power than DBA, truth ?

thanks my friend, mind to post your PhD threads link over here ?

2 papers in good journals?

currently im doing my Mmgt, just started, working and part time study now. after i finish my master, i would have 2 years working experience.

How can PhD holder being very successful in career? being a consultatnt ? operation director ?

not sure,planning to do my DBA in lim kok weng or UM maybe. im doing my mmgt in taylors now.

not planning to study oversea, because have job in KL.

ya, DBA require a master, therefore im doing my Mmgt now.

thanks for the information.

taylors mmgt about 43k (ori price is 53k, i got 10k scholarship), for 18 months course.

LKW im not sure, UM should be cheaper. Segi college has funny requirement which require 5 years working experience (by the time i work for 5 year, my momentom have definately lost)

yup,Segi DBA is from Segi college uni.

mid of 2012 i will be graduated from mmgt.

gonna find a day to vist LKW.

thanks, does DBA useful in career ? for him ?

actually, i created a fake acc on jobstreet saying that im a DBA holder,i actually got offer from solaries group. head of sales and marketing, Gm of training department. all 5 digits salaries.

im still searching, LKM maybe? segi taking too long to fulfil the requirement (5 years working exp)

haha,same. im highly motivated ! career + edu = ultimate combo $$

im not sure yet, i havet visit their campus, but im considering Phd in Business in the same time, Taylors offering. 4-8 years part time

taking Phd is a long research and self learning progress, should be fun and enjoy. 8 years, a bit long. 5 years i can still take.

thanks for the information, looking forward for your post after you visit the campus,thanks !

i just checked out lim kok wing yesterday, the environment is f*uck up. not recommend at all. now i going back to Taylors.

UUM? you can try to google it, a lots of uni in Malaysia offers DBA, but what is your future plan? industrial or academic ?

i havent enroll in any Phd programme as i cant make up my mind like you.

anyway, i have consulted by some professionals, they told me that ecademic recognise Phd more than Dba does. DBA in more on industrial.

Phd carry research in very specific field. (100% research) and take longer time to complete. 4-8 years
Dba carry research in very general way like general HR, management, etc. (50% course work + 50% research) 2-4 years

Phd only attend classes like Advance research methodology, research method.
Bda has classes like finance, organizational behavior and other discipline.

career wise:
working in academic mean you have more time, day off on sunday, PH, kinda 9-5 job, relax, the fresh grad PHD is paid rm5500 +.
Dba helps you to advance your career by moving up to BOD positions, you may get higher paid but of course with high responsibility, working pressure and lesser time you have.

i would say Phd is a reward career, Phd lecturer with 3 years experiences can get up to rm8000 a month, and PHD is a prestige.

ya, i didt say DBA cant teach. i meant PHD is an ideal in teaching line.

agreed with you, you and me have the same thinking

"personal recognition and achievement milestone"

"DBA as not so dry compare to phd"

wish you all the best and pls update with us !

im now struggling between BODs / GM and lecturer.

you are right. at least it's not a bad career. still good.
