In the previous post, i mentionned a women who's working on her PHD, because in the company that employed her, they dont accept non PDH for their R&D department
She has a MSC in biochemistry like i have, and works for Oleon. Quite a big corporation. She wanted to join their R&D but needed a PDH. So she found a way to kept beeing on their wagebill whilst doign her PHD on MEL's at antwerp university, with her reseach also sponsered by Oleon.
Quite a good fix. She had several of my classmates working their thesis on a part of her research.
But as you can see, big corporations can also demand a degree. And they pay top dollar
