Will a PhD Education Really Further your Career?

There are many people in the world today are what some call “addicted to education”, meaning they are continuously on a road to further their education. But, the question is, are these people trying to get the highest level of education they can to be able to get their “dream” job, or do they try to delay the inevitable of actually having to work, being the fact that they are constantly in a classroom environment, thus there is not any time to start a career. Achieving a PhD education can certainly mean great things for your future, if you receive your doctorate degree in a competitive field. Getting a PhD in a far-reached subject may prove to only be for your benefit and not for the purpose of having a promising career.

Getting your PhD focusing on the field of human development or the human psyche such as a PhD in psychology can prove to be very beneficial when choosing a well-paid career. With this type of doctorate degree, you can go on to become a counselor, psychologist, researcher into the development of the human mind as well as focusing your career on social work. This degree can be a wise move for you to make financially unless you choose to work for a non-profit agency.

A PhD education in the field of Ministry can sometimes lead to very rewarding career paths, although some may say that a minstrel education to benefit a person financially is a bit hypocritical. Those who receive their doctorates in Ministry often go on to become church leaders, sometimes making more that $150,000/year depending on the church size and the religion itself. Others wish to take their minstrel studies back to the university to become of professor of theology. In a larger scaled university, a professor can make a large three figured salary. In a smaller college, you can expect a salary in the upper double digits. Minstrel doctorates do not have to pertain to modern day religious practices. It can date back to pre-Christian times or you can receive your doctorate in other worldly religion studies.

If you are aiming to receive a PhD education for a promising career with a large financial gain, do some intense research on which field of expertise will be the most beneficial for your future.
