I’m thinking of possibly looking at going to college for many PhDs. Mainly in the following. Business (Business Management, Advertising, Marketing and Accounting), Psychology, communications, forensic science and psychology, developmental biology, healthcare, biology, and more.
As someone who is aiming for a PhD after my BS, why did you decide on a doctorate instead of a Masters? A PhD requires years of research, it’s not just time in a classroom. Also a PhD program is usually 4-7 years, while a Master degree is usually 2. Then there are certifications you can get outside of a degree program.
It’s also not easy to get accepted into a PhD program (at least not in biology, AFAIK because that’s my field) without undergraduate research already completed, or some other aspects outside of grades to give you a competitive edge. (Or as my professors love to remind me “everyone else there is also a 4.0 student, what do you bring to the table?”)
Id answer the professor: Professor I bring an odd and rare prospective into the deepest darkest corners of the human mind or aka a psychopath.
Well for a multitude of reasons. One if my genetic modification works and my body completely heals and if it works even farther and I become immortal. I got a lot of time a head of me and I’ve always wanted to help many people. Also learning is something I love and if I go for a masters why not finish it? I mean phew god damn trust some parts I may struggled for sure but some of these like medical very rarely Ami probably gonna get into that much but if I become rich enough start a psychiatrist office mixed in with a cannabis dispensary.
Masters are compete degrees. And that’s what you want if you’re trying to get a job outside of research or teaching. What you’re learning with a PhD is more niche, like you’re becoming an expert on nutrient exchange between plants and fungi, instead of something more general like plant physiology.
You mentioned wanting to be a psychiatrist, so I’m just going to gently point out that you’d want an MD, not a PhD. The MD will train you for treating patients, while the PhD would be focused on researching (for example) new treatments for certain patients.
Interesting so they don’t become anything more beneficiary? Since like when I hear they are the experts and more and like if I want to learn things why not become the most knowledgeable?
