Ingabe kufanele ngifundele iziqu zobudokotela emkhakheni we-STEM?
Ukuthi ufuna ukuphishekela iziqu zobudokotela noma cha kuzoncika ezicini eziningana. Kulezi zinsuku, imisebenzi eminingi idinga izitifiketi eziningi nobufakazi bemfundo. Kodwa-ke, i-PhD ivame ukudingeka kuphela emkhakheni we-STEM ezikhundleni ezigxile ocwaningweni, njengesikhundla sososayensi abacwaninga, noma emkhakheni okhethekile, njengama-laboratories amaningi 'emanzi' ocwaningweni lwebhayoloji, noma imisebenzi yolwazi ekhethekile. Ngaphandle kwalezi zikhundla, iziqu zeMasters noma ezinye iziqu ezifana nezitifiketi zobungcweti/MBAs njll zingasetshenziselwa ukuqhubekela phambili emsebenzini. Kulabo abanesithakazelo emkhakheni wezemfundo, i-PhD iseyimfuneko eyisisekelo.  Uma ukhetha ukwenza i-PhD, lapho wenza khona i-PhD kuyothonya inani nohlobo lomsebenzi owenzayo. Ngokwesibonelo, e-EU, e-UK, e-Australia, nakwezinye izindawo, i-PhD imvamisa yiminyaka emithathu yocwaningo ngaphandle noma okuncane komsebenzi owengeziwe wesifundo. Nokho, e-US, i-PhD ngokuvamile ithatha iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-4 futhi idinga umfundi ukuba athathe amakilasi amaningana ezingeni lokuthweswa iziqu. Lapho usuhlelweni lwakho, kuyodingeka uchithe isikhathi esiningi ugxile ekunyathelisweni kwezincwadi. Abafundi be-PhD, kulezi zinsuku, kudingeka ukuba bakhiqize amaphepha angu-1-3 phakathi ne-PhD yabo emaphephabhukwini anomthelela omkhulu. Ezikhungweni eziningi, lesi yisimo esicindezela kakhulu futhi singaholela ekucindezelekeni okwandayo kwempilo yengqondo. Uma unentshisekelo futhi wakha isakhiwo esiqinile senhlalo, lokhu kungaba okuhlangenwe nakho okujabulisayo, nakuba kuyinselele.
