Is it ever too late to do a PhD? Conversation with Professor David Stuckler 

Is it ever too late to do a PhD?
I invited my old friend and now Professor David Stuckler of Bocconi Business School. David and I met while I was doing my PhD as a doctor and have both transformed our careers in different ways. Here we discuss how to figure out whether doing a PhD later in life is right for you.
3:00: What happened to David after he flunked out of a Harvard Tenure Track position.
4:09: What’s the right motivation for doing a PhD (the right and wrong reasons to do a PhD)?
8:05: Is a PhD a good way to take time out from the career treadmill?
9:35: Where to start if you’re thinking of doing a PhD later in life and what to look for in a PhD programme.
12:12: 3 PhD skills that can give you an advantage in your career outside academia.
13.48: Things you can do during a PhD to ensure a smooth transition back into the workforce
17:46: Is it ever too late to do a PhD (hint: David has a student who is in her 80s…)
