Hello Guys,
I am new in this forum.
Probably I have some common problems which you might have read here, but I think I have specific reasons.
I already finished my PhD in materials engineering on summer last year, which was August 2012. Now I am working in Research Center in South Korea. During my PhD I also worked for that institute. At this stage right now, I think I am going nowhere in term of career prospect or personal improvement, it probably because i have stayed in this institute around 5 years.
I got married last year. We still don't have plan to have kid in near future yet. We both work.
I come to know that I am not married to my PhD in materials engineering. Because I have been struggling so much during experiment. I know how bad my hands are. I have to tell you that, I was forced to continue to PhD after master because I need to support my family financially. I am from poor family. So I need to support my sibling and my parents. The condition was difficult. Because in that PhD program I have chance to secure my work contract in institute until I finished it.
I don't want to spend in the next 5-10 years only doing experiment physically etc. I want to switch my career.
I have been reading about possibility to study MBA, but after I check tuition fees, that's a lot !. But I open my option to PhD in business. My plan is I want to build a consultancy company in engineering and business. Before that, I need to have experience in company first/consultancy company. I probably will do it in next 2 year.
I need your suggestions guys.
Thank you.
