I’m thinking of possibly looking at going to college for many PhDs. Mainly in the following. Business (Business Management, Advertising, Marketing and Accounting), Psychology, communications, forensic science and psychology, developmental biology, healthcare, biology, and more.

    Masters are compete degrees. And that’s what you want if you’re trying to get a job outside of research or teaching. What you’re learning with a PhD is more niche, like you’re becoming an expert on nutrient exchange between plants and fungi, instead of something more general like plant physiology.

    You mentioned wanting to be a psychiatrist, so I’m just going to gently point out that you’d want an MD, not a PhD. The MD will train you for treating patients, while the PhD would be focused on researching (for example) new treatments for certain patients.

      Interesting so they don’t become anything more beneficiary? Since like when I hear they are the experts and more and like if I want to learn things why not become the most knowledgeable?
