Before you go get your "doctrite" make sure you learn how to spell "doctorate". And YES Nympho is right, there IS such a thing as a PhD in Business Administration, Duke for instance has such a program. Although the MBA is the degree most commonly sought after. I wouldn't bother with the PhD, if I were getting a PhD it would be in something esoteric, like quantitative analysis. Go for the MBA from a top school instead!

Ph.D program in managment is basically purely academic..if i go for one, it will most likely be in economics.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for the MBA from a top school instead! yes but one my teachers who i have a good relationship with is really suggesting that i go for the PhD just recently in forbes there was an article saying that businesses dont know what to do with all these MBAs nowadaysalso the degree is supposedly easier to obtain then beforebut i would rather hear first hand from someone who is actually going for one right now or recently completed itand i dont think i would mind doing the extra two years if i can work at the same timebut i am curious on the workload etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for the MBA from a top school instead! first off im goin for my MBA in Finance and Investments second whats the deal with this "Before you go get your "doctrite" make sure you learn how to spell "doctorate" why dont u take the stick out of ur ass and overlook the fact that i mispelled a word and finally i didnt disagree with her i just said you dont commonly see a business major with a ph.d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somebitch Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 why would someone get a phd in business unless they wanna teach business at a college level?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nympho69 Posted February 10 Author Report Share Posted February 10 Originally posted by somebitch why would someone get a phd in business unless they wanna teach business at a college level?? 1. to learn (some people enjoy learning)2. its a challenge (some people enjoy that too)3. because of the current lack of jobs in the overall market and the increasing numbers of people earning mba's, it makes u stand out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpoppanils Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Originally posted by somebitch why would someone get a phd in business unless they wanna teach business at a college level?? for the same reasons someone goes for an MBA....but even better salaries. Teaching isnt a bad gig either. Six figure salaries are quite common for Finance/Accounting professors, and you can get 3 months off a year. Most of my professors do a lot of consuling work on the side.Nympho: according to one of my risk management professors, a Phd can take 5 years if you go right after getting a BAless time if you have an MBAif youre looking to teach....any CUNY is tier 2...meaning you can teach in tier 2,3,or 4 schools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkFloyd40 Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 not sure what what field your looking to get one in.. but in general its extremely difficult to get into a program... i was recently looking at the website for Stern's doctoral program and for finance they get on average 400 applicants and accept 7...

You'll be needing it! But anyway, back to the topic, Nympho, consider a PhD in finance, as I think it would be more marketable than one in business admin (of course, assuming you have an interest in finance). By the time you get into the job market the economy will likely have improved anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheendawg Posted February 10 Report Share Posted February 10 Whatever you do, just make sure you're gonna love doing it! That's a lot of money to put into an education only to hate it. My friends spent over $100K at Harvard Law only to find out they hate being lawyers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
