there are also many phds holders to pick. unless you are from the top ivy league, chances of getting into local uni is very very slim.

updated salaries?
Hi,
the most recent data i found about salaries of professors in singapore were back in 2004. Does anyone have any information on recent data for assistant, associate and/or full professor in the leading business schools (i.e. in accounting and finance fields) at Singapore?
Thank you

It might be better to listen to your heart as no one else could make the decision for you. About 13 years ago, I took a leap of faith, quitted my job and pursued a phd. I like research and I am now a full prof in local university. I like the job and enjoy being with young and energitic people. My papers are well cited and useful to both academics and practitioners. That is something money cannot buy. I don't think maximizing my wealth is the most ineresting thing I could do with my life. My circle of friends are serious researchers and they are are not big spenders. We are pretty contented individuals. :-)
There are risks for not getting tenure... That's why you must be truly passionate...

Is it possible for me to do a PhD which is not related to my current job scope and still end up teaching this new subject after graduating w the PhD?
For example, I am not currently working in finance. But I wish to do a PhD in finance and be a finance lecturer upon graduation. Is this possible?
Appreciate any insights on this matter

June 2010 report on wages, MOM. Under the category, University and Poly Lecturers.
Mean: $7,170
First Percentile: $5,050 (from other threads, that's the starting pay of poly lecturers)
Third percentile: $8,750
Median: $7200
My guess is for a assistant professor, it runs between $6k - $8k.
Full fledged: $8k - $12k
Nothing conclusive, just a rough estimation.
I think my estimations are somewhere near, best that i can do with statistics and my understanding of rough wages. Don't forget they stay in campus and many rent their existing property for rents between 2k - 5k ( HDB). Add that sum in and that's a 'fair' salary.
Fair, considering the time and money set for PHD education. 'Fair' considering how much your peers has earned in corporate world.
Hope i helped. Feel free to correct me if anything's wrong.

Possible. Because lecturers in academia has the least sense of what happens outside. They live in their perfect, rational, logical, and non-randomness academia all their lives.
But again, what's your degree in? It may be hard to complete PHD without prior education and experience.
