[QUOTE="Dantes, post: 668486, member: 2850"] I can speak from the perspective of having a Ph.D. My education was costly, time consuming and required a lot of sacrifice. During the process, I contemplated quitting on several occasions but I stuck it out. My Ph.D and work experience places me in a position where I am an expert in my field. At the very minimum, it is an insurance policy as it provides me with many options for employment in my field that I would not have had if I stopped my education after a Masters. In addition to a well paid job, I supplement my income with a consulting practice that is 100 percent on my terms with regard to choosing when and how I work. The compensation for this is very good. Pursuing a Ph.D is not for everyone. I dont know if I would do it again. However, I am glad to report that I am seeing the benefits right now and I have a sense it will provide me with opportunities in the future I never would have had without the degree. [/QUOTE]
