Happiness This Way

or PhD, which would (1) The most rewarding MBA (2) Have the maximum security?

Doctoral studies or could be in Economics or Mathematics. I have business experience (10 years). And I'm a non-traditional student to obtain his degree in Quantitative Economics and Mathematics and Statistics. As to be gratifying, I'm looking for a total happiness (ie, good pay, low (ish), stress, chance of promotion in the system), While job security is self-explanatory.

If security and lack of stress are of primary concern, maybe an MBA is not the right way. Rise in the system on a race track after MBA requires many hours of effort and – also a significant amount of competition between pairs available for opportunities. As you undoubtedly know, is subject to the vagaries of markets and therefore job security is considerably lower than in academia. Improve safety at work requires you are very good at what you do (marketing to other employers) and compounds stress. The features that are important to you as well of perhaps the good pay are the features that are often found in government jobs. You should be aware that securing a starting job at the University has a time and is not solely dependent on the time with the institution. In addition, the way of achieving tenure depends on the approach of the university. Are you thinking about teaching or research? If you are planning on doing the research should be prepared for some stress as the publish or perish mantra is alive and well in research institutions is a matter different in most educational institutions focused, however, be aware that both types of institutions are ardent defenders. Meritocracy suspect that any of the options-PhD in Mathematics or Economics will serve you well if you decide not to enter the academy – will options for financial services companies and. As not sure there are many opportunities to "move up" in the academic world unless you want a management role – academic department, director of the university. These functions can be extremely stressful as many issues these individual agreement with are highly politicized. These roles tend to attract people with greater capacity for risk that what you described in your message – this is not a critical statement as risk preference is a personal and reflective of life experiences and desires. Hope this helps.
