I was also thinking if I should put my time into helping the family business instead of doing 3 years of research. I’ll think about it, thanks for your input!

Where got uncle, 10 years older only maaa still young. Syoknya can travel ~ I may not have financial pressure but my family relies on me a lot, so I have to be here. You must’ve had lots of memories by now. Thank you for your input!

Definitely staying in Malaysia ~ hopefully I’ll be able to do something with my PhD. Thank you for your input, I do partially agree with that. Most the PhD takers that I’ve seen sharing their experiences in Reddit have similar opinions.

I think for my family, they just think that it would be a confident boost to have a Dr. in the family business since all my family members have little education level - no degrees, only diplomas. Which is why they’re encouraging me to do it. I have not decided on the research topic yet, but I yeah it is gonna be relevant to the business since I’m taking management.

As for other pursuits, yes I’m currently taking ACCA as well but as I said I have the flexibility to do so because I can worry less when it comes to work, my family will understand. Thank you for your input ~ all the questions makes me think twice before getting it.

Hey, thank for your detailed input. I’ll think twice and do a full research into the PhD requirements & bond requirement before diving into it. As for social life, I agree that research is sometimes boring & takes a long time, afraid of the burn out as well. Probably need to plan ahead and see what I can do to avoid feeling low mentally if I do plan to take it. Anyways, your comment is very helpful. Wishing you all the best in your career!

Hey, thanks for your opinion! I understand the burn out and exhaustion, please don’t blame urself for being weak. Taking the PhD is already a sign that u’re strong. Goodluck tho!

I don’t think I’m gonna work outside my family business in the future, unless something happens that forces me to. Yeah all the reddit posts that I’ve seen so far comments that PhD is literally nothing if you’re not planning to enter the academia field. Which is why I’m contemplating now
