Doshisha Business School Global MBA - bertoni - 2013-03-28
I don't think you'll get much of a job without a PhD. Do you want a temporary job or a career?

I have heard of a few people working a professors with only a masters. I just wanted to see if any of you guys had any additional info on the subject.
On the topic of career vs. temp job, IMO I think it helps to think of any job as a non-perminant arrangement. I would like to professor for a while, I think. However, There are many other jobs I would be quite happy doing. Really I just want a job that will fund my future family, as long as it does that I can make myself like it.
Though, I do sometimes like to play with the idea of taking the 司法試験 in my later years. But I think i'd sooner become an astronaut than pass that.

I agree that there are professors who only have a master's, but they tend to be stuck teaching lower-level classes, at least the ones I know, and I don't think they get paid as well as those with a PhD. I'm not sure about tenure, either. It's all about what you want in life.
If you want to stay in academia your whole career, you might want a PhD. Only you can make that decision, though.

Another option would be to consider doing your MBA in Europe. A lot of the European schools have one year programs that are much cheaper than the two year options available in the US. Depending on yor background and GMAT scores, scholarship opportunities will vary. I think they give scholarships frequently but for much smaller amounts (10-40%). I'm actually going to start a 2 year MBA program in Spain this fall and I plan to do exchange to Keio for one semester. I haven't fully worked out my career plans yet, but I figure this is a good way for me to open doors in Japan. Even if it doesn't open up major opportunities, it still gives me a way to do another extended visit in Japan (which I've been dying do again).
