I am a Ph.D in Chemistry, now doing an MBA in finance.
I'm working on my PhD in Immunology, and seeing how many people are going back for their MBA worries me! I hope it wasn't because you couldn't find a job you liked.
In my case my PhD took too long and I felt burnt out to the extent that I kind of lost interest in my subject. Also salary from teaching after PhD was shitty. Now I am actually enjoying studying something new and interesting. My mental health is also much better now. Just hope I get some job after MBA that I would actually like to do.
