How many PhDs?

G

Is it possible that people do another PhD after they have completed one PhD? what are the requirements?

G

I should think the main requirement would be insanity, it's hard enough to do it once! ;o)

G

Agree with Anne!! However it has been known to happen.

A PhD is a training for a career in research. Once you have this training you should be able to find a research job, to allow you to complete any further research aims. Another PhD would seem pointless.

I agree with the find a phd team but i know someone who has alrady got 2 phd and working towards his 3rd one and he is not even 40 yrs old

G

if you think to carry your studies further away you should apply for PosDoc after completing the PhD. Not doing another PhD.

G

Fourth PhD?????
Now THAT is sad.

G

Whoops! I meant THIRD PhD!!

G

Are you sure that he is not buying them off the internet? ;oD

G

So what's the going rate for one these days?

G

Unless it was in another field, multple PhD's are just progressing a career sideways. As previously stated, doctoral training (PhD) is usually followed by post doctoral training.
