Help me choose between PhD in I/O Psych or DBA/DM

New to the forums, but after countless hours of reading on here I am stuck on where to go next and need some advice. I have career goals of being CxO one day in a global company, I envision I will teach in my retirement but for the next 30 years that isnt a goal.

I have a Business Admin undergrad and an MBA. I was looking at a DBA but didnt know if that seemed to narrow and linear, BBA-MBA-DBA. I was thinking of expanding my skillset and doing something like I/O Psych but didnt know if that would really help me towards more salary and career prestige.

Anyone have any insight on the 'narrow' path I have described or taken a completely different route on their PhD than their undergrad/masters studies? If I am going to spend the next 3 years doing something, I want it to be impactful and worth while. Let me know your thoughts

(If you say DBA, please discuss why you would chose DBA over DM in xxxxxx and vice versa)


Thanks

 

I have never considered it until now, mainly because my work will pay for it and I have the time at this stage in my life to do an online degree. I almost feel that if I dont do it now, I may never have the chance.

 

Instead of a PhD I would look at executive training. Harvard has some executive training programs but they arfe expensive and long (6 months off-and-on and $50K). You may want to look at some local ones. I know the University of Tampa has a one week program that is about $3K. This is great for networking and learning,
