In Reply To: Hi there Miu Miu, I am currently undertaking a PhD in a top B-school. After finishing, I plan to return to consulting (no doubt a higher position, better pay etc.) or go into academia. Both are very well paid. I would suggest that since you've done a PhD in sociology/anthropology, I would recommend you explore options in OB.. a booming industry. Cheers, CoolCyber
Message: Hi, sorry to have to reveal the extent of my ignorance but what do you mean by OB? I don't think salaries in academia are no where near as attractive as in consultancy, but perhaps it's different in the States? It depends if you like teaching and doing research, which often is a solitary affair; although in business academia joint articles are more common than in anthropology for instance. Toodlepip, Miu
