Hello there,
I myself is going to venture into PHD soon, coming this october 1st. However, I am just 23 years old, and I guess this make my choice much easier than in your case.
Non the less, according to what you listed out as the reason why you decided to obtain your PHD, I think, you ought to do it.
It also seems that , you don't have much concern other than working experience.
Well, I guess that's not a problem at all. While studying for PHD, you'll get allowance. It might not be that much but it is enough for now. When you start to work as a PHD, your salary will be much higer.
Industrial researcher will be pain abt 8 k, and lecturer is about 6 k. And those are only for starter....

QUOTE(seanwc101 @ Aug 14 2011, 01:55 AM) Thanks for the input. First of all, congrats to be accepted for phd candidate. Do you skip Masters degree and straight taking phd? I don't have much problem with financial because I'm quite confidence that I can get a sponsor or scholarship if I further PhD. y only concern now is about the valuable working experience that I will missed out if I continue phd. If I do phd, I will do full time and concentrate 100% on it. This is because some phd students that I know who doing part time took a long time to complete due to work commitment. For the salary, I don't really bother how much I get paid when I have phd. Yes, I am doing fast track programme. Which Uni u from? I am doing it in USM If salary not your cocern, well, my friend, you are 200% set and ready for PHD! U got like 50 or 60 years a head after PHD? The years of PHD that u can use to build working experience is not that big effect .. |

QUOTE(Geminist @ Aug 14 2011, 02:25 AM) What is it that you want to do after you get your PhD? If you're looking at academic/research work, then it would help you. If you're looking to get into the corporate world, unless if what you're studying is really technical/specialised, the PhD may not be of much use. I've seen people take part time research degree whilst working. Tough, but it's doable. Very much agree with you... |
