Hi,
I am looking for some advice. I graduated in September with a BSc Econ. I have recently offered a ERSC1+3 scholarship within my university. I think this is worth about 15-6k. The Phd will fall within the subject area of HR. I have a great relationship with my proposed supervisor, and I know the support I am offered will be excellent.
I am unsure whether I should follow this course of action. Primarily, I am interested in either a lecturing position, failing that I can see my skill set being suitable to consultancy. The thing is I keep hearing so many horror stories about PhDds, I don't want to be 27/28, starting off in a graduate entry position with accenture or something!
Should I do the Phd? Or should I just turn it down, get on dr.job and apply to the consultancies with my BSc? I have all the typical insecurites of not being bright enough etc etc. The idea of having a PhD in HR, just seems a bit naff:) In reality, I just want to know what oppourtunites the PhD process with supply me with. Will I get a better job?
I am so confused!
