hi i am planning to self fund my phd in uk after attempt to apply for funding failed. The cost for the fee and living expenses will be 260000 Ringgit Malaysia for three years time. This will require me to work for 3 to 5 years in Singapore in order to collect this amount of money. Therefore, i would like some advices if this plan is worth or not. Besides, i do interested in doing research and teaching. And plan to find a job and settle down in uk after my phd. But i do know this is quite a risk, as i might not be able to get a job there after that. Therefore how much salary i will get if a phd holder work in singapore, and is it worth for me to put such big amount of money to invest for my phd.
