标题: teaching school的好与坏？23 fall fin phd选择 [打印本页] 作者: SKT123456 时间: 2023-3-14 02:56 标题: teaching school的好与坏？23 fall fin phd选择 各位学长学姐老师们大家好，我有几个问题想请教下你们：
我申请了23fall fin phd，本人目前可能有两个选择（还在waitlist上，没有offer，就先不说学校了，假设都有offer的情况）A学校和B学校（全部都是top100以后的学校），
A：大城市，读博体验非常不错，但老师基本不管学生，ideal全靠自己，毕业几乎全teaching，但是前两年课少，自由分配的时间更多。
B：大农村，老师听说会带学生写论文，近5年中国学生毕业4个好像全部balance（3男1女），平均一年一篇文章（或者更多），但是读博体验估计一般。
找对象这种事情我觉得和读博没关系，找得到的人怎么都找不到，找不到的怎么都找不到。 作者: Tripleg 时间: 2023-3-14 10:52
The above comments, pretty much focused on research, teaching, and job search while one is in a PhD program, are insightful and illuminating. To add to those from a pecuniary perspective, the starting compensations for entry-level APs at teaching schools are typically in the $100K to $120K range, while those at research schools are around $200K on average (significantly higher for Finance and Accounting, generally). Also, teaching schools provide far less faculty research support than do research schools.
Your descriptions of these schools suggest that they belong to Tier 4 or Tier 5 in our Placement Rankings. If so, a teaching school would almost be an assured destination. But do not foresee yourself 'Tang Ping' half a year before you embark on your program. If you aim high while staying 'low' and do exceedingly well, there is always the chance to get into a what we call 'balanced' school or even better. Outliers are far and few between. though.
By the way, it is interesting that the current buzzword 'Tang Ping' has sneaked its way into our forum. As I understand it, the term seems to imply a passive or monastic way of life as an antidote to societal pressures to work hard and get ahead.
