| In some professions a Ph.D. / Doctoral Degree is your entry card. It is a requirement for almost every college professor. However, keep in mind that about half the people who have doctoral degrees find interesting, well-paying work away from college teaching. Many graduates become researchers in private sector, nonprofit, or government. Other PhDs pursue independent careers as consultants or writers. In a Ph.D. program, candidates are trained to be a scholar or researcher in the field and are awarded a doctorate after they pass the examinations and complete a thesis that shows original research.
