Is A Professional Doctorate A Good Idea? | MD, JD, DBA, Executive, And Online Doctorates.

Professional doctorates are a good idea if the expected benefit significantly outweighs the cost of getting one.
Here are the things that I want you to think about before you start:
What is the cost of the program?
What is the expected wages, and the percentage of people that actually graduate?
Do you have a support network and time for you to dedicate all of your weekends and evenings to getting the doctorate?
Pay attention to the program. They vary a lot in value added across institutions.
Does it get you closer to being more fulfilled in your life?
Do not do it just to teach. You can teach for far less cost.
Ask graduates of the program if it was worth their time.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.
r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform
A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.
The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.

While I admire your efforts, permit me to say that in the USA and many parts of Europe, the DBA is recognized as a research degree and cannot be ranked with JD, MD and other professional second degrees. The National Science Foundation and the US Department of Education rank the DBA and PhD as equivalent research degrees. While the DBA researvh aims at applied and real problems of organizations,, the PhD research aims to produce theoretical knowledge, which may only be useful in the academia. The professional degrees of MD, JD, etc are not equivalent to the PhD acquired from doctoral research universities as classified by Carnegie Foundation.

Thank you for your comment Dr. Effiong. It provided some helpful information in helping me decide what doctoral degree to pursue.

Most DBA's are quicker less extensive than a PhD and require no dissertation. In the academia world a DBA is not equivalent to a PhD as one is a practitioner program and the other research despite mis-information from the dept of education.

He doesn't know what he is talking about... But sadly he thinks he is an authority in the subject.

I just completed a DBA from the University of South Florida because school accreditation was the most important factor in selecting programs. I would offer that in addition to the program costs, there are many additional costs, such as travel, hotels, and food. If that's an issue, look for programs that offer online alternatives.

That’s the wrong reason to do it. If it’s just for the title, it’ll burn you out. You need a passionate drive to complete a doctorate. There’s immense freedom in recognizing that her opinion of you is meaningless and not within your control, though you may be able to influence it. Do it because you want to do it and it will benefit you. Don’t do it for others.
