多少岁就不需要考虑读博士了

三十五？四十？

个人觉得商科类博士40岁前没问题，其实任何事物都是年轻学习更好。
只是如果只是想拿个博士毕业，然后找份教职的话做个普通学者，年纪影响甚至天赋影响不是很大 。
你看朱敏，斯坦福读工科phd差不多四十岁了。
而且那还是工科的，工科比商科按理说对年龄要求更。高 商科工作经验还可以加分，工科就基本凋零

This is an inane question, meaning it is very boring. How come it came to your head? Are you 45, 50, or older?

This is the most sensible question to ask for people of my age. To give you some idea about how old I am, I can tell you that I graduated from university in the last century. Even though I was one of the youngest students in the class back then, I have passed the mid-35 mark after so many years. To make it even worse, the earliest intake I can apply for is 2016 when I will graduate from my MBA program. By the time I start my PHD program if I am lucky enough to get into any, I will be almost 40.


When you are young, age is not something you need to think about. But when you get older, age means a lot to you. First of all, age means responsibility. At a certain age, you may have a family to support. You may not be able to afford to give up your salary. Your family responsibility may also prevent you from being fully devoted to your study. Age also means that people may look at you differently, often on no valid grounds though. Lastly but not the least, age limits your ability to take risk. If the endeavor fails, you have no more time to reestablish yourself.

我也在加拿大，楼主。我的年龄也很可观了。。。
比你少不了几岁。
其实我觉得这个dilemma很好解决，机会成本大，你就要求高一点，比如unc这种级别的acc phd，你可以丢下所有一切去读。

不是打击您们，商科PHD可不是容易申请到的。我知道50，60多岁有读MBA的，但PHD不行。

确实，到时候试试，申不到也就死心了。
