@Khalil KhaaN FaaKhta

are u planning to do a PhD?

I would like too but I don’t think i 'll because I am not going into teaching as I dislike it.

Yes… like I said, in North America there is usually one to two years of coursework required followed by six months of preparation and writing comprehensive examinations. Thesis work usually commences after this and takes two to three years. So overall, 5 years is quite normal.
I did my PhD in Information Systems with a minor in Management Science.

Here you do all in 3 years,you have no exams just prepare yearly project/report and submit it by the end of each year. Well done to you, you made it. One of my friend is doing in Artificial intelligence ,she said , it is pretty hard.
