"Also, I would like to know the prospects of having a PhD in business other than being in academics"

Hi,

I know that prospects outside of academia for people with business-related PhDs and MBA are amazingly good. Especially in management consultancies etc. Hope you will soon be able to make a decision. Good luck.

Listen, Badhaircut. Although you might be right it is unlikely that this system will change in the next 200 years in the UK. This is partly due to the fact that people, as you already pointed out, accept it - maybe for the wrong reasons or due to masochistic behaviour and character traits. Nevertheless, if you can't stand the heat, just leave the kitchen. It's very easy and I fully understand if people decide to do so. That's because I can't stand the heat myself and I'm defintiely planning to leave the kitchen/academia.

I completely agree with you. it's a ridiculous system and salaries are poor compared with industry. But you have a choice. Leave the system if you don't like it. I probably will one day not too far away.

Thank you for your suggestions. Did not plan to add his name without his consent, though. Just planned to submit as single author, ask him later if he agrees to be listed, and then add his name. But as you all suggested, I better ask him for feedback straight away and to hear his opinion on the matter. Unfortunately I reckon he will advise to wait a couple of years and publish after PhD.

Basically to avoid face loss. He might also think I'm trying to walk before I can crawl so I'd like to have a statement of the editors that it might be publishable to show him when I actually ask him if it's okay to add him as second author. I think he would be angry if it got accepted and he wouldn't be author but he might also be angry if I ask him if I can try to publish and he thinks it's rubbish and I should focus on PhD. It's basically a dilemma.

Being new on this forum, I have a difficult question. I would like to submit a paper for review to an academic journal without telling my supervisor. He did not provide input to this paper but I'd like to include him as second author. My problem is that I would only like to ask him if he accepts to be listed as an author as soon as I have the feedback from reviewers and know if there is any chance for publication after revisions are made. Is it generally possible to submit a paper as a single author and then later add another author before the paper is finally accepted??

add: with your 'qualifications', it will be VERY easy to find a Lectuer/Senior Lecturer job for 30-40k in one of the "new" (and not very research strong) universities.

Badhaircut, you've got a "fresh" PhD, right? Stop wasting your time here on this student's forum and find a job.

Chris, you can still do that. Take 6 weeks off over summer, take your backpack and just do it. It won't affect your PhD progress and it's good to have a break. Today I just decided something crazy as well, I'm gonna get a motorcycle license over the next few months, buy a machine and just drive off into the sunset (in September, hopefully). Wanted to do that for more than seven years, but never did. I will still continue my PhD but life is too short to waste it.

Thanks. I found it.
It's very relevant for my current life as well.

Any idea where I can find the entire song text?

Sue, you are a poet. That's a very interesting thing to say.

You could have done the same to her two minutes later.

Weirdo: Can I help you?

You: I'm waiting for that computer .......and so on.

Bye
