I would like to share my experience with you guys and see your opinions.

I am about to finish my IT degree and my supervisor asked me if I want to go further and do PhD in the IT industry.

I did say to him that I would like to build a business instead, so I can make a bigger impact in people lives. Nevertheless, both research and business can make an impact. I understand.

Then he explained further that if I take 3 years of research, I could learn the technology to the smallest detail and be prepared once I finish the research. He also did mention that he had some people in his experience that managed to set up IT business while doing research.

Thus, there are two paths:
1. research and then business
2. or just business

I understand that I can only know and choose, but what do you think what would be the best path?

To do research and then jump into the business?
Or graduate and work in the business and learn from actual work by building up the business?
