人到中年還要讀博士嗎?

當然，讀博士肯定是正面的，可增個人強競爭力，不需多講，但不可算是必要。

但以你的情況，客觀形勢是不許可，似乎省下金錢儲蓄作退休及家庭急用更重要，因你並沒有積蓄。

等待一下適當時機再打算吧!

為充實自己而讀書是崇高，為前途而讀書亦是正常，但暫時你不具備條件，先以其他方法充實自己。

博士，是名銜，出到去，您唔出聲，邊個知您係博士喎。
有時，都要為現實的，沒有積蓄，這是個重要問題呀。要為自己的將來著想。
如果您是單身人仕，亦都無諗過結婚生仔咁，加上又搵到很多人工。
讀博士，都可以算是一種精神寄託吧。
我爸爸的朋友個女，三十一歲，仍然讀博士，佢話﹕「讀完博士，咁，人工都會高d。」
是的，她是大學助教，頂多三萬幾，拎到博士，回大學教書，便可以有十萬人工。
但是，她是教書，而您呢？為了什麼而考呢？職業需要嗎？好好想清楚自己想點？
因對，讀不讀博士，是您自己的選擇，對不起，我幫不到您決定的。
人生，讀拎學位只是其中一種要做的事吧。

Your question is virtually open ended. Which kind of doctoral degree you are preparing to read? If you are working in science and technology field, e.g. in research and development in electronic engineering. A PhD may be useful. If you are a lawyer, you can study part-time for a JSD. If you are a business executive, you can study part-time for a DBA. Likewise if your are a teacher, you can study part-time for a Doctor of Education, Doctor of Psychology etc. Most university professors do not have actual or professional working experience. For example, if you surf to the HKUST Accounting Dept website, you can see that all their Professors in accounting have no working experience in the accounting field. However, many "applied type" universities, e.g. PolyU insist their teaching staff should have sufficient working experience and a PhD. So if you wanna to change field and teach at university, why not go ahead to study a PhD. A professor with a PhD + 10 years working experience is very very rare. It is very easy to get a job from a university, in particular in accountancy department. However, if you were in some rare and funny industries and prepare to study a PhD in strange area, there is no guarantee.

我覺得有兩個 Master Degree 已經足夠, 唔使讀博士.
除非是一個情意結啦!
我自己拿兩個 Master, 死而無憾也~~! 噢~~!

去讀一個博士, 要付出的時間金錢, 卻非我所能負擔的. 學費其實一點也不貴, 四萬多一年, 問題是要讀的話, 就不能上班, 沒有收入, 就算有每月一萬二千多的studentship, 對於一個三十歲以上, 有家室要供樓的人來說, 真的很困難..
不過, 我老公話要讀博士, 先有前途 同將來
