Phd vs. Masters vs. Job vs. Own Firm.

Hi world,

Here is the simple topic , I am recently graduated student.

I am confused about future prospectus.

Should I go for Phd or Second Masters or should continue doing a job. 

I mean as far as I can see there are 5 ways :

  1. Continue job and after some years of experience start own firm. Or reach at top most level of the firm till I retire. 
  2.  Second masters and again apply for the job, might get more salary and better firm.
  3. Phd in interested topic and then go for teaching field/research field or again apply for better job/ start own firm.
  4. Leave everything and start own firm. 
  5. Leave job, phd, masters, own firm and do some another bussiness related to architecture.
  6. Something else...... 

My interest lies on "the things that I would love to do everyday."

Current Scnario :

Job = (+money), (-interest),(-family)

Masters = -(money)(-family)(+interest)

Phd = (+-money)(+-family)(++interest)

Own Firm = (--money,++family,+ineterst);

*Please correct me if I am wrong.

this is not a simple question.
no one can answer this for you.

but seeing that you are even asking this question - you should likely go to school or get a job.

Easy answer and it seems like you have already answer the question you ask us. 

Conflict/Problem: "My interest lies on 'the things that I would love to do everyday.'"

Answer/Solution: do things that you would love to do everyday. 

That means #6. do something that brings (+money)(+interest)(+family).

Life is simple don't make it complicated =)

@ Quan - Hey Thanx for reply mate ..

Your #6 can open-up thousands of more possibilities and thats more confusing , but yes ultimately i will be targeting for (+money,family,interest) but currently I have above mentioned options. And if i go for 6 then There should be a separate discussion and thinking as well as preparation for that. Can you be more specific like .. you can suggest some way ... some path ...

Not sure if you got my humor. We will have to use the help of Mr. Steve Jobs (the man).
