The #1 Reason You Should (NOT) Get A Doctorate In Business Administration | Should You Reconsider?

Күн бұрын

There are many reasons to get a PhD or a doctorate in business administration (DBA), but there are a lot of reasons that people don’t talk to you about why you should not get a doctorate in business administration.
Reasons not to get a Doctorate in Business Administration.
1. The returns on your education are far too long in the future. It will take you at least a decade to recoup the cost of pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration.
2. You all have to work long hours. Please do not consider a PhD as a way to actually slack off for the rest of your life. It is very difficult!
3. You will cry or get angry at somebody multiple times. Because there is a lot of uncertainty and ambiguity in a PhD in Business Administration, you often get very emotional and take this out on others.
4. You will spend large amounts of your time alone during your PhD in Business Administration, which can lead to mental health problems.
5. While you might feel successful in your current job, nobody will know who you are for a long time and you will feel unproductive in academia.
6. Doing a Doctorate In Business Administration could affect your family-life choices, and whether you choose to have children.

Don't really understand the purpose of the video. Yes, the reasons you mention are of great importance and everyone considering a PhD should be aware of those. However, there are people passionate about academic research. They want to do a PhD because they want to become professors conducting high level research. If that's your goal, then a PhD might be a good option. So for me it's not about not doing a PhD. It's about understanding the reason why you want to do it and if the reasons are strong enough so to chase it. Especially a PhD in management is useful just for academic institutions.

Thank you for this video. I am looking into DBA programs because I want to gain expertise in management and technology, as well as complement the education I have already acquired (I have a Master of Science in Foreign Service at Georgetown). I worry about the additional debt and stress, but I eventually want to move on from being a tech writer and become a leader in the workplace. I thought a DBA would be that building block for me, but now I need your advice.

You have voiced out concerns that I have previously thought about but apparently not hard enough. Looking from where I stand now in my career and life, if I go through a dba program (thought about for about a year), it will throw me back many years from personal, financial and family perspectives and all for getting recognized in highly political academia so they like me?! Originally I thought to do go through a dba program while working (one of those done remotely with visits on campus) so I could apply it to my consulting career and enable myself to part time teach. Was that too hallucinatory from my part? >_

I haven't been able to find an answer to this question, and I was hoping you could provide some professional insight for someone deciding to pursue a D.B.A. degree that comes from a scientific background. This may sound like a silly question, but do you need to have an MBA, a business degree, or know about business management to qualify for a D.B.A. program? Currently, I have a Master's of Science in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, which focuses on human behavior and maximizing human potential to increase processes and profit within businesses. I do understand the mentality of what it takes to be a leader or in a management position. However, I am unsure if my lack of experience in business management will cause me to fail the program if I applied for one. I want to get a doctoral degree because I love learning about maximizing businesses and helping people succeed. My intentions of getting a D.B.A. (or a Ph.D.) are to be an executive consultant, but I want to be more involved with the private sector rather than academia; which is why I've been contemplating about doing a D.B.A. program since it appears to be more based on practice instead of theory. I'm mainly looking for an honest answer to help determine if I can succeed in a D.B.A. program, and I'd love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on this matter. Thank you for the wonderful and informative videos. They've helped me so much with evaluating different doctoral degrees and what I should expect in each program. Keep up the good work!

Short answer is no, depending on the program you choose. The good ones will require exams to prove you proficiency before admittance, but prior degrees in the field are not always required.
