I say "go for it" but oddly enough, not everyone agrees.

Eh it's a personal choice. I want a DBA for a variety of reasons....being a prof isn't one of them.

I'm pro-education, and I'm earning one myself. But getting a doctorate requires an awful lot of time and money, and those who don't need one to reach their professional goals are right to think twice.
BS, Information Systems concentration, Charter Oak State College
MA in Educational Technology Leadership, George Washington University
EdD in Professional Studies, Thomas Edison State University, in progress
