- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2018
- There are many reasons to get a PhD or a doctorate in business administration (DBA), but there are a lot of reasons that people don’t talk to you about why you should not get a doctorate in business administration.
Reasons not to get a Doctorate in Business Administration.
1. The returns on your education are far too long in the future. It will take you at least a decade to recoup the cost of pursuing a Doctorate in Business Administration.
2. You all have to work long hours. Please do not consider a PhD as a way to actually slack off for the rest of your life. It is very difficult!
3. You will cry or get angry at somebody multiple times. Because there is a lot of uncertainty and ambiguity in a PhD in Business Administration, you often get very emotional and take this out on others.
4. You will spend large amounts of your time alone during your PhD in Business Administration, which can lead to mental health problems.
5. While you might feel successful in your current job, nobody will know who you are for a long time and you will feel unproductive in academia.
6. Doing a Doctorate In Business Administration could affect your family-life choices, and whether you choose to have children.

25 years old, Bachelor’s in Business Accounting, enrolled in a Master’s of Accounting, and plan to start in my DBA program with a specialization in Accounting. I already earn 65k a year and my company will pay for my MAcc and DBA.
Think you can help me out with a similar position at your job?
Hey currently in a similar situation. Did you start on the DBA? Will like to get some advice
Great video. Lots of info on actual life during PhD and risks. it's definitely good as a warning for traps coming up
Thanks for watching! It’s an honor to be part of your journey!
instaBlaster...
Thank you for this video. I am looking into DBA programs because I want to gain expertise in management and technology, as well as complement the education I have already acquired (I have a Master of Science in Foreign Service at Georgetown). I worry about the additional debt and stress, but I eventually want to move on from being a tech writer and become a leader in the workplace. I thought a DBA would be that building block for me, but now I need your advice.
You have voiced out concerns that I have previously thought about but apparently not hard enough. Looking from where I stand now in my career and life, if I go through a dba program (thought about for about a year), it will throw me back many years from personal, financial and family perspectives and all for getting recognized in highly political academia so they like me?!
Originally I thought to do go through a dba program while working (one of those done remotely with visits on campus) so I could apply it to my consulting career and enable myself to part time teach. Was that too hallucinatory from my part? >_
You should watch the accompanying video on why you should do a doctorate.
Finally someone says it like it is! Media will not be this honest.
Thank you once again - I do believe in full information and learning. :-)
I am retiring from the Marine Corps this year and have not paid a dollar for my masters degree and below. I plan to do my DBA, I want to prove to myself I can do it and it will be the only degree I will have to pay for
Thanks for video
Awesome. Thanks
thanks for insights
Hi. Interesting video. In Australia terminal degrees by research are free under government initiatives for the first 3.5 years.
Shouldn't they be paid as well? A PhD is a full time job.
@@NitinYadav-wi9vo
education needs to be completely torn down and rebuilt with the lessons we have learned in the last 100 years for sure.
You mention that as a 30-year-old there might be some easier Ph.D. programs as compared to this one. What are some of those that I should look at? Thanks!
I have a video on easy phd programs. just google it with r3ciprocity...
I wish I came across this video 2 years ago. This man is spot on.
Hello. I didnt find info on the number of hrs required per day to study on average. ?
As many as possible.
Don't really understand the purpose of the video. Yes, the reasons you mention are of great importance and everyone considering a PhD should be aware of those. However, there are people passionate about academic research. They want to do a PhD because they want to become professors conducting high level research. If that's your goal, then a PhD might be a good option. So for me it's not about not doing a PhD. It's about understanding the reason why you want to do it and if the reasons are strong enough so to chase it. Especially a PhD in management is useful just for academic institutions.
Agreed. I actually did this video at the same time, but RUclips promoted the other video more.... ruclips.net/video/ewZnjZTCczg/видео.html
I'm going on 40 years old. I'm in my last semester of obtaining my Associate's degree in mechatronics. I want to get my PhD afterwards. Any thoughts?
Giver. Why not?
You're going to have to supply a lot more information to get any meaningful response. What credentials and relevant work experience do you have? What are you goals?
I’m just happy that you both chose to not wait to have children It May sound a bit selfish but also happy you didn’t wait until we are too old to to be active grandparents!!! 😊 Just a personal comment not sure if it is relevant or not 🤔
Me too!
This is so discouraging. Where I am from we say puss and dog don’t have the same luck. If that’s what you want to do go for it.
Hi.. Please what about a PhD in Accounting.. I really need an advice.
Not sure on your question....
It's better to do a designation in Accounting. ACCA or CPA
What about accounting? Should I consider a PhD in accounting?
Go one. An upcoming video will talk about this . About a month away...
@@R3ciprocityTeam thanks because I want to get my bachelor's first but I don't want to stop there I want to further it with either Master or Doctorate
I haven't been able to find an answer to this question, and I was hoping you could provide some professional insight for someone deciding to pursue a D.B.A. degree that comes from a scientific background. This may sound like a silly question, but do you need to have an MBA, a business degree, or know about business management to qualify for a D.B.A. program? Currently, I have a Master's of Science in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, which focuses on human behavior and maximizing human potential to increase processes and profit within businesses. I do understand the mentality of what it takes to be a leader or in a management position. However, I am unsure if my lack of experience in business management will cause me to fail the program if I applied for one.
I want to get a doctoral degree because I love learning about maximizing businesses and helping people succeed. My intentions of getting a D.B.A. (or a Ph.D.) are to be an executive consultant, but I want to be more involved with the private sector rather than academia; which is why I've been contemplating about doing a D.B.A. program since it appears to be more based on practice instead of theory. I'm mainly looking for an honest answer to help determine if I can succeed in a D.B.A. program, and I'd love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on this matter.
Thank you for the wonderful and informative videos. They've helped me so much with evaluating different doctoral degrees and what I should expect in each program. Keep up the good work!
Hi Sean - I think you should watch a few more of my videos on these topics. However, you might want to watch:

Short answer is no, depending on the program you choose. The good ones will require exams to prove you proficiency before admittance, but prior degrees in the field are not always required.
@@R3ciprocityTeam Thank you!
@@Trident-333 Thank you!
What if I can get my company to lay for it? Is it worth it?
Sure, but what is your and goal? You need to think about why you want it.
@@R3ciprocityTeam if it took 5 years to complete, and nothing out of pocket, isn't there utility in that if I accept the opportunity cost? What would be the downside?
Goal is to eventually teach my 30yrs in banking at a college
I prefer pdh in accounting or finance. Dba. Not for me
Nice! Keep it up!
R3ciprocity Team thank you sir!
After DBA can one use Dr title in his name.
Yes.
Total nonsense. Saying Don’t do a PhD for the most basic and ridiculous excuses is completely irresponsable.
In order to get into investment banking, you have to have an MBA or DBA from a top-10 business school.
Good to hear - do you have a source?
@@R3ciprocityTeam It's common knowledge, try applying for an IB position at the Goldman Sachs headquarters in New York without having an MBA from HBS or Wharton, and they will very politely show you the door.
