A flip side of the same question: a doctoral friend of mine recommended that if one were to really get something out of grad school heavy-lifting and still learn critical thinking business skills, go for a PhD in any management science or economics; reason being a) Get paid to learn b) some programs award an MBA anyway c) learn a lot more behind the scenes than any MBA program. But, I have seen this to be very rarely useful hackers turned, for example, marketing gurus. Any thoughts on this?
- brianlash 19y agoWhatever the skills it gives you, the PhD in Business is designed for those who want to teach at a university level. They're highly competitive (I think 2-5% accpetance rates are the norm) and it would be tough to outperform the other students in the admissions process unless you can demonstrate the same or better "fit"; that is, Odds are even more stacked against you if you intend to use your education to practice, not to teach.
