EdD Study Stopped

It's been 1.5 years since I last blogged here as I had decided to drop my EdD study in late 2005 due to a few reasons:

1. Very tight working schedule. I usually left my office between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m on most weekdays.
2. Completing the EdD study would only make me even more 'over-qualified' to most employers in the education industry, unless I wish to work as a Professor or Lecturer in the universities, which has got low staff turnover rate, meaning I will have less chance of joining one.
3. The local agent representing my uni changed 3 times within my 2 years of study.
4. My uni Supervisor didn't correspond much with me and he took a long time to reply my email. He was due for retirement.

Well, after resting for such a long while, my mood for studying returns now. Now I am seriously considering doing a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) to help me to be more effective in my new job role. In my new role, I carry a very heavy responsibility of ensuring business profitability for the whole organization, though it is a non-profit one. I feel that the DBA study will help me perform better as I will be able to put into practice what I would have learned in my research studies. I can also use my work experiences to write my research paper.

So all my wishes in My Wish List didn't come through, except for wish #2 (SE K750i). I hope this time round I can fulfill all my wishes by early 2010 (2.5 years from now if I were to join the Sept 07 intake).
