Overview of golfpro on PostgraduateForum.com

Can't say I've noticed much snapping, or 'nastiness' to be honest. There's a hardcore of posters that don't suffer fools gladly, if thats what you mean.

What is the Salary of PhD in Business?

You're 'probably' better doing a GOOD MBA instead (unless you intend to teach).

"I was a BSc student and my boyfriend was doing his PhD... we dated, even though he marked some of my coursework and practicals"

Isn't this technically a dismissible offense? Not passing judgment, but I always thought it was/is. I know for sure it is at UCLAn. Not too sure about where I am now.

I remember a Prof. as my place telling me he physically sees certain of his PhD's (Saudi ones apparently) only about once a year. Most conversations are undertaken through iChat or by phone, with work being emailed back and forth.

Is a PhD better in the UK or the USA

Unless you have a money tree in your back garden I would have thought the answer was relatively obvious.

Other sources of funding??

Reservations just based on what was written here previously. Like I said, I think it would pay to get the opinion of someone who's done what you're thinking of doing. I 'believe' it was/is Shani.

"That's what i've been advised to do".

Who advised you to do that? Not entirely ensure I agree with that particular pearl of wisdom. A PhDer here (could be Shani?) was/is in pretty much the same boat. Could pay dividends to get her input re this too.

A 'plan' would be a good start perhaps. Time left, what needs doing, realistic goals, etc..
