My friend is very excited but confused right now. He is a high flyer and intelligent guy. He needs to make a decision between scholarships, admission and jobs.
He is a young man with a simple family (a wife & kid). He has a BSc and MSc in the engineering field. He is very open to working in the academia or industry.

See the breakdown of choices below. Pls advice him sincerely like a friend/brother. I will also read through and give him my opinion too.

1. Secured a Fed govt scholarship for PhD study in germany (Due 2019). Currently still seeking admission/approval from supervisors.

2. Already received 2 admission offers from Univ in Australia but no scholarship. Currently applying for an Australian govt scholarship. (Due 2019)

3. Received a job offer from a multinational oil servicing company (Salary like 450k). To reply before October 2018 ending.

He has a moral constraint in taking the Job offer if he intends to leave in maybe 6 months for his studies. Should he forget about PhD and take the offer to grow and be a top professional or leave the job and focus on his studies.

I am sure you see his confusion now. Abeeggiii make una help am oooo.

October Never End

With the amount of details, it sounds like ur talking about yourself.


Is a PhD an end in itself, or a means to an end? Entry level employment for a PhD is very rare save for teaching profession.

So many PhD lecturers dreaming of either and Oil & Gas employment, or immigration to Canada!

A lot of Oil industry experts were employed with nothing but their first degree but somehow acquired same PhD in as little as 5years.

Why not have it all (work while studying). A bird in hand is worth 10 in the bush.
