a mastering of one's field of study and entitles the person who earns it to be
addressed with the honorific "Doctor." Earning a PhD requires a considerable
amount of work is not for everyone, but if it is for you, here is how to get a PhD.

research. As a PhD, you may secure a position as a college or university professor, a
researcher in a government or industrial laboratory, a consultant, or an independent
practitioner. If you have the curiosity to explore a subject in depth and the tenacity to do so
for many years, applying for a graduate PhD program may be for you. If you are simply
seeking wealth or the status of being seen as smarter than everyone else, applying for a
PhD program is most likely not the best direction for you.
See the section "Skills You'll Need to Earn a PhD" for advice on what it takes to
