    25 years old, Bachelor’s in Business Accounting, enrolled in a Master’s of Accounting, and plan to start in my DBA program with a specialization in Accounting. I already earn 65k a year and my company will pay for my MAcc and DBA.

    Don't really understand the purpose of the video. Yes, the reasons you mention are of great importance and everyone considering a PhD should be aware of those. However, there are people passionate about academic research. They want to do a PhD because they want to become professors conducting high level research. If that's your goal, then a PhD might be a good option. So for me it's not about not doing a PhD. It's about understanding the reason why you want to do it and if the reasons are strong enough so to chase it. Especially a PhD in management is useful just for academic institutions.

    You have voiced out concerns that I have previously thought about but apparently not hard enough. Looking from where I stand now in my career and life, if I go through a dba program (thought about for about a year), it will throw me back many years from personal, financial and family perspectives and all for getting recognized in highly political academia so they like me?!
    Originally I thought to do go through a dba program while working (one of those done remotely with visits on campus) so I could apply it to my consulting career and enable myself to part time teach. Was that too hallucinatory from my part? >_

    I haven't been able to find an answer to this question, and I was hoping you could provide some professional insight for someone deciding to pursue a D.B.A. degree that comes from a scientific background. This may sound like a silly question, but do you need to have an MBA, a business degree, or know about business management to qualify for a D.B.A. program? Currently, I have a Master's of Science in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, which focuses on human behavior and maximizing human potential to increase processes and profit within businesses. I do understand the mentality of what it takes to be a leader or in a management position. However, I am unsure if my lack of experience in business management will cause me to fail the program if I applied for one.
    I want to get a doctoral degree because I love learning about maximizing businesses and helping people succeed. My intentions of getting a D.B.A. (or a Ph.D.) are to be an executive consultant, but I want to be more involved with the private sector rather than academia; which is why I've been contemplating about doing a D.B.A. program since it appears to be more based on practice instead of theory. I'm mainly looking for an honest answer to help determine if I can succeed in a D.B.A. program, and I'd love to hear your thoughts or suggestions on this matter.
    Thank you for the wonderful and informative videos. They've helped me so much with evaluating different doctoral degrees and what I should expect in each program. Keep up the good work!

      Short answer is no, depending on the program you choose. The good ones will require exams to prove you proficiency before admittance, but prior degrees in the field are not always required.
