PhDs are free

OP you cannot do a real PhD if you are working full time. Any half decent program will be 50-60 hours per week. Top programs are even more. It’s nothing like an MBA if that is what you are expecting

like

Most PhDs offer some kind of way to offer funding, like a research or graduate teaching fellowship. You might want to email programs you are interested in and talk to the director or faculty whose work aligns to your interests. Some schools have afternoon and evening courses to accommodate to working students, too. I don’t think it’s impossible to do while working, but it can be really hard. There are quite a few pre-doctoral fellowships out there, which provide a stipend and usually can get your dissertation done.

Also, getting a PhD just to do it probably isn’t the best idea. It sucks, limits your time, and it doesn’t always mean better pay and quality of life later.

24, thankful to have my bachelors and masters, little debt...1st gen & trying to build my nest egg. However, I just feel so directionless/empty right now, in some ways. Accenture has not enabled me to explore several areas of interest in my first year, and I cannot see a long-term here. It is no time to pivot. Have considered a MD/PhD/MBA...know it’s in the future, but no idea what, when, or where. Just feeling like the days are passing and I’m just doing my best. Any thoughts?

Hi! So i've been doing "all the things i was supposed too" since i graduated. I have two masters dgs, my admin cert, 15 years teaching, and all that good stuff. The problem is that I don't want to do it anymore. I think of becoming an admin and I cringe. I have a photo business that I have been doing part time for yrs and it's becoming just as lucrative as teaching, with so much less stress. A part of me wants to just quit and do that full-time am I wasting all that education? Thoughts? do it?
