Serious answer - if you are not already independently wealthy, NEVER. Do not do it son. It is the worst thing you could do to yourself. The very real sacrifices you will have to make will not be worth the masturbatory ego stroke those three letters will give you. Those three letters won't put your kids through college son.



But what about the respect you get from your fellow peers. Also the opportunity in fields that are cutting edge in the latest technologies.

Are you at least going to say what field you would be getting a PhD or are you just going to keep wasting our time?

As someone who has a PhD, this isn't a given. People can always tell the bullshitters from those that are genuinely intelligent. A degree doesn't change their opinion.

Opens some career doors, but closes others.
