I have a masters degree and would definitely be interested in persuing my PhD as a way of using the later years of my career to train the next generation of accountants. Please send me any material such as institutions where I can receive my PhD. I am 52 years old and have worked 30 years in the accounting field.

Generaly, in Brazil accounting is seem as an exact profession and plays its role primarily on calculating (and not using it for managment) firm periodic numbers. This scenario, viewing accounting as a mechanical job and not a science, creates a hard barrier on the development of the profession. It is essencially due to many social factors and the legal enviroment. There are just few educational institutions that are able to prepare students (and develop the interest on them) for a more extensive learning on accounting. Hopefully, on the past recent years there were some extraordinay academic people who have started a "revolution" on the accounting teaching, introducing even the positive accounting view. The accounting students even are not prepared for further courses or do not have the right incentives to continue on the academia (because the teacher salary is in general not worth it comparing to alternatives carrers) I would not like to extend writting on this because showing some empirican evidence would seem more appropriated, and for this my e-mail is: vncslima@gmail.com. I would like to make an infinitesimal contribution for the academic research in accounting in Brazil and for this, I would like to ask for any advice on the requirement for a foreign student (ending college this year) to join on Phd program on the US?

I will be graduating from a regionally accredited university with DBA in Accounting in 2 ½ years. Should I prefer consulting or teaching? Any advice or comment!

Although the opportunity costs associated with obtaining a phd are extensive, the payoff is worth it. To make 150k starting out (which is projected) on a 9 month contract is a great opportunity. Not only can someone go into different business aspects (I personally want to develop residential real estate) but it offers for more down time or family time. Thats what is important to some of us. Best, Brad. As a prospective PHD student, I would like to add to this conversation. Although the opportunity costs associated with obtaining a phd are extensive, the payoff is worth it.
