In today's dynamic and interconnected world, choosing between a career and business path as a research scholar requires a 360-degree holistic view. A traditional career offers stability, structured growth, and opportunities for scholarly contribution, making it ideal for those passionate about deep research and academia. On the other hand, venturing into business allows scholars to commercialize their innovations, create real-world impact, and embrace entrepreneurial freedom—crucial in an era where interdisciplinary solutions and tech-driven enterprises thrive. Ultimately, the better path depends on one’s personal goals, risk appetite, and desire for academic depth versus practical application, with many scholars now blending both through research-based startups or consulting roles.
