Hello everyone,
First of all, thank you for taking your time to read my post.
To give you a bit of context, I hold a Master's degree in business management from a French business school and another Master's degree in HR (with distinction) from a top UK university. I have 3 years of work experience and I am currently working in a HR position.
That being said, I realized that, at some point in my career / life, I would like to work in the academic world, more precisely, I would like to teach... which means getting a PhD.
That being said, this is very new for me... I have been researching (since last week during my free time) on some PhD opportunities in business administration, with a touch of HR... and consulted different / ressources, among which this great forum!
My questions are the following ones:
Q1 - what general advices would you give to someone who is starting to think of doing a PhD?
Q2 - wouldn't it be too much for me, considering my situation? (2 Master's degree... I know that some people are getting 2 PhDs or 1 MBA + 1 PhD... so I guess it is never too much ahah)
Q3 - while searching for some PhD opportunities, I have seen many PhD in business administration in great US institutions? not sure about other countries...
Q4 - in general, what are the odds of getting a full scholarship? (in a PhD in business administration)
Q5 - I am currently 28 years old - but by the time I get accepted (if I eventually get accepted), I will be turning 29... Assuming it will take me 4 years, I will complete my PhD at 33. Isn't a bit unusual? it is just that I know a guy who graduated from his PhD at 25 and another guy who is 28 (my age) with 2 PhDs... doesn't mean much I guess!
Anyway, thank you for your time and help in answering whatever questions you can :)
Best!
