What Can You Do With A Finance PhD?

Many people choose a Finance PhD because they think it will make them money. This is true because you do learn a lot of things, however, you should be careful with pursuing a Financing PhD if you don’t know what they do.

Academia. Many (most) people that get a Finance PhD will end up in academia as a Finance Professor. You will be doing research and teaching in a Business School.
Working in Policy and Think Tanks. Some (not as many) Finance PhDs will go and work in a policy position in government or work in Think Tanks. However, most will only do this after they get an academic career.

Working on Wall Street or as a Trader. Some (not as many) Finance PhDs will go work in some sort of Hedge-Fund or work on Wall-Street. They do get offers to do so on a regular basis, but you should be careful with this career path. You might be better off getting a technical PhD, like Economics, Math or Statistics for this career route.
Not that many Finance PhDs start and run their own businesses.

I would recommend that if you are thinking about doing a Finance PhD, you should only do so if you are thinking about doing research as a career. What do you research? You can research anything that is related to markets and firms.

If you are thinking of getting a Finance PhD to go to a Hedge-Fund, I would suggest that you don’t. You would be better off to get a Finance MBA and work towards getting experience in that area. If you are thinking of doing more technical stuff on Wall Street, I would suggest that you get a Statistics or Math PhD, and as well get substantial amount of Computer Science (CS). The world of Finance is quickly moving towards Computer Science.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.

https://r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform

A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.

The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
