发帖数: 200 | 1 I plan to get my PHD in Aerospace Engineering next spring and I will get a
statistic master degree in this summer also.
Now, all I want is to get a job with annual salary greater than 5w. I do not
start job hunting yet.
I am good at Java, Matlab, R, JMP etc.
Feel depressed with the PHD thing now. | s*****n
发帖数: 2174 | 2 呵呵, 很正常, 我当年也是突发一念决定quit PhD的.
当时qualify什么的都过了, 突然觉得PhD没什么意思了.
当时的想法就是, 只想找个工作, 哪怕去最差的工作,
也不愿意读最好的PhD了. 当时我的期望就是4w, 只要
有个4w块钱的工作, 我就quit.
坚持你的信念就好了. | o****o
发帖数: 8077 | 3 you are about to get a Ph.D in a year and it is quite a pity to quit this
program
PhD is somehow a personal archievement in one's life, admit or not; and it
may help you smooth out many things in your future career, believe or not

发帖数: 200 | 4 Thanks for the responses.
I guess I will stick to this PHD thing until I get it. However, I do not
want to be a postdoc or a research engineer or a prof. I am just tired of
being in school.
If I get the same salary with PHD degree as with a master degree, why would
I suffer for 4-5 years from the PHD thing.

If you do not want to do research-like work, you'd better not waste time on
a PhD.
would
This is the key why many people think PhD doesn't make sense. Actually, with
a PhD, the initial salary is probably higher than a master's but not
necessarily higher than a master with 3 yrs experience. So, if you do not
get into academia/research world, PhD may not be a good business.

in business, at least according to my personal experience, big boss (VP in a
non-financial company, so a real VP) appreciated a Ph.D in his group and a
Ph.D's analysis usually got no critics from other business lines as long as
they know you are a Ph.D, no matter good one or bad one, hehe.
In business, they don't care if you are a Math Ph.D or a Sociology Ph.D.
What matters is the three letter: "PHD"

发帖数: 2174 | 8 This is true, but it is a different question. The real question here is: for
people who do not want to do research (this is the assumption), is PhD a
smart choice? Personally, I don't think so.
Starting work 3 years earlier, accumulating experiences and money earlier is
way more helpful in the career. After a few years work, leave for an MBA
program to enter management. This is probably an easier way to climb the
path. Instead of hoping the analysis are trusted by the VP, why not trying
to becom

发帖数: 8077 | 9 you are right based on this assumption
what I said is for those who, by accident or other reasons, have to pursuit
a Ph.D degree. When you are 3~5 years behind your peers in business, you
gonna max out your competitive edge and I found american people somehow show
some respect to people having a Doctoral degree which we can take advantage
at.
