Many PhDs are finding out the hard way how challenging it is to
obtain that first position out of the academic laboratory. The skills
learned as a PhD student or postdoctoral scientist do not always
translate into industry and are often not enough to impress employers.
All things being equal, employers will always hire the PhD with
additional business administration training.
The reality is now
setting in for many PhDs that they need additional training.
Professional master's degrees have a proven record of benefitting
individuals trained in science, reorienting their career towards
nontraditional fields. The monetary and time investment that goes into
obtaining a professional master's degree, although significant, is in
the end worthwhile.
