  1. Hey! I stumbled on this discussion on MBA vs PhD as I an currently being consumed by the dilemma. I have PhD offers in Chemical Engineering from two-three good schools and one year of work experience. I applied for a PhD as I felt I was being given crappy work in my company after getting MS in Chem Engg! Now that I have PhD offers, I am contemplating applying to MBA school after one working for one more year. The grass is always greener on the other side, as they say. My goals/liking: 1) I like science/technology but I will be happy with any job that involves decent analytical work (even slightly challenging) and not crappy report making/ excel /presentations work. 2) I want to be able to make a lot of money and retire soon 3) I want to be in a position to go back to my home country-India without being rendered useless (right now R&D investment in India is nil which makes me think that getting a PhD would probably make me useless in India) 4) I am willing to work extra hard as long as the job is satisfying and well paying I always wonder if there is anything close to job satisfaction in post-MBA jobs as they are hardly technical and full of office politics. Any suggestions/thoughts/comments are most welcome!! @rbp6: I am just curious as to how your choice of getting a PhD worked out for you? In retrospection, how do you feel about your choice??
