Are Professional Doctorates Any Good? (EDD, Executive PhD, DBA Programs)

Professional doctorates are a good idea if the expected benefit significantly outweighs the cost of getting one.

Here are the things that I want you to think about before you start:

What is the cost of the program?
What is the expected wages, and the percentage of people that actually graduate?
Do you have a support network and time for you to dedicate all of your weekends and evenings to getting the doctorate?
Pay attention to the program. They vary a lot in value added across institutions.
Does it get you closer to being more fulfilled in your life?
Do not do it just to teach. You can teach for far less cost.
Ask graduates of the program if it was worth their time.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.

https://r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform

A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.

The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
