Just go if u have opportunity.

depend.

1. You want to build Career. Leave Uni ASAP. ( unless you want to work in UNI after study )


The more you "stuck" in academic, the more you "disconnect" with the Market.

You don't have to feed me. TS asked a legit question and you came in and said MBA is junk. That's your sweeping statement and until now you still can't proof anything about your sources claiming MBA is junk. All you did was go round and round throwing questions back at me without having the ability to answer my questions about your claim that MBA is junk.

It’s not that the customer need to know if it’s written by a phd or a degree holder. The PHD holder will want to make it clear that she/he is a phd holder of a field relevant to the report

It’s just like saying for all things equal (price, experience, facilities, service, etc), I imagine most people will want a specialist surgeon to operate on them rather than a GP even if the GP can do it. It’s a matter of perception.

For sure it does not work for all industries, I am in the engineering industry and for sure a PhD holder report carry heavier weight and if we (me as a non PhD holder) write completely opposite conclusion of a report, the customer will likely side on the PhD holder’s report. Even if I’m significantly more experienced than him/her. It’s perception. That a higher education entity has certified that he/she came out of university as a specialist of the field. I have no issue, if they chose her/his report and proven wrong, I will have my chance to prove my report and if come true, it will strengthen my case in the future. It is what is is, I don’t blame the customer because given the same choice, I might do the same if I don’t have sufficient evidence to back either one report.

hmm....ok thats make sense if you are in consultancy service or business. In fact, nowadays a lot of oversea univ pushing their lecturers to take up consultancy business case to make them relevant. but those are rare jobs with little opportunity, most company are sensitive to univ lecturers bcoz of confidential operations information. For engineering jobs, I dont see any customer or 3rd party vendor provide reports on project or deliverable with highlights they are phd and etc. we only care about the written content of the reports. But with one exception, certificate bcoz of iso requirements. but those are certificates not phd or mba.
