Considering going back to school and take up DBA (doctorate in biz admin). it's less of wanting more salary and more of my nature of wanting to learn more. DBA seems more applied science (which I prefer) than a PhD in BA which sounds more theoretical. Anyone who took up DBA? Good or would you have taken up a different degree instead (hindsight)?

If you tell the average person you're a DBA, they'll ask "which database?"

It’s good if you wanna teach eventually it’s not gonna help you much in business though. Definitely not more than an MBA would

Only worthwhile if you want to teach.

I got a DBA and don’t regret it. I would not say it had helped in this career but sets me up for a second career for partial retirement in the future

What is the benefit and career opps this degree provides

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
