Choosing to pursue a doctorate is a life decision that will undoubtedly change your perspective and way of seeing things.
Years of research, time invested, and sacrifice during the years of study cause you to rethink what you expect from your life on a professional and, why not, personal level.
But one thing is certain: the desire to obtain a Ph.D. degree is the result of you, your previous studies, and your professional career. That curiosity that has led you to devote years of research to a specific topic is unique, and it distinguishes you.
Studying for a doctorate is an experience that changes your professional life by providing you with new challenges and goals to meet, and in most cases, it changes your career path.
During your doctoral studies, you will discover and work on ideas and theories that will open up a new world to you and provide you with a new perspective on life. That critical and analytical thinking that develops during your years of study and is one of the main draws of the Ph.D. profile is practically an asset to your personality.
Many people enter a doctorate program as students and graduate as Doctors with a completely different perspective on life. Years of study, research, skill acquisition, and a new way of thinking to change them for the better, allowing them to be change agents when they finish their studies.
When defining your matrix of thought, it is also important to consider your place of origin and residence. It is no coincidence that the countries with the most University Doctorates in the world are part of the global economic engine and that their names are prominently featured in the main news headlines for directing global politics.
Top 5 countries with the most Ph.D. graduates:
1. The United States
2. Germany
3. United Kingdom
4. India
5. Japan
By 2025 the United States, which tops the list, will have around 209,000 new doctoral graduates*.
If you have a vision of improving the world and want to be a part of it, a Doctorate can help you get there by giving you the analytical tools and soft skills needed to lead large and transformative projects.
Consider what motivates you and make a decision to act.
