Acquiring successive academic degrees is associated with a great effort of a large amount of scientific work and also in the universities of administrative work and didactic classes. Scientists work a lot while being usually modestly rewarded. Compensation for a large amount of work and sacrifices, related to the fact that scientists work almost non-stop are just getting academic degrees and the fact that scientific work is interpreted for scientists as a passion.
Do you agree with my opinion?
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:
Why do you get your next academic degrees, PhD, Prof.?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
Best wishes
I agree with you, moreover, in most developing economies this need for next academic degree is significantly influenced by nature of the work (mainly compulsory) and peer/colleague pressure.
This is probably related to the scientist's self motivation, which made us choose the academic path from the start.
I think extra future degrees would help us further explore our interests and optimize our potentials.
Because it is required for pursui g academic career. In Croatia you can't be assistant professor or anything for thr whole life. If xou don't manage your career development in required timw, you are out of univesity.
Thanks to all Dear staff members, I should thank my Dept. and University for being a Prof. since 2010.
