Hello everyone,


I am about to finish my master in mathematics and

I was wondering if you give me some advice about the problem I face.

Actually I ve been thinking of what I am going to do with my master degree and I have come

up with two options so far:


1- get a job in a university ( this is what I want to be honest) and then get my PhD.

If I do not get a job in a college then I will

2- try to start up a business like:

an office to do some maths papers ( publications for science papers) and get a group to

work together to make up a team. In addition to the (2nd option) the office would be like

an engineering that do some projects ( like build houses and so on).

Do you think that would possible and If I need to publish papers do i need to be a lecturer or

do i have to work with a college?

I hope this was clear enough to help me with my future.


Your advice and help would be highly appreciated .

thanks for your time,

Regards,


Yaya

You'll likely need a better business model than what you've stated in number 2. You won't make money by publishing academic papers. You could make money building houses, but you'll need some substantial startup capital.

If you really want to do a PhD, remember that most programs provide a stipend for their PhD students to live on. It's not a lot, but it's enough to get you through school.
 

FAQ: Two options I have with my masters?

What are the two options I have with my masters?

The two options you have with your masters are pursuing a career in your field of study or continuing your education with a PhD program.

How do I decide which option is best for me?

It ultimately depends on your personal goals and interests. If you are passionate about research and academia, a PhD program may be the right choice. If you are more interested in entering the workforce and gaining practical experience, a career in your field may be a better fit.

What are the benefits of pursuing a career with my masters?

With a masters degree, you will have a higher level of expertise in your field, making you more competitive in the job market. You may also have access to higher paying positions and career advancement opportunities.

Are there any advantages to continuing my education with a PhD program?

A PhD program allows you to specialize and conduct in-depth research in your chosen field. This can lead to career opportunities in academia, government, or industry. Additionally, individuals with a PhD often have higher earning potential and job stability.

Can I pursue both options simultaneously?

Yes, it is possible to pursue both a career and a PhD program at the same time. However, it may require a significant time and energy commitment. It is important to carefully consider your priorities and goals before deciding to take on both options simultaneously.
