If anyone here has a PhD, can you share with us what made you decide to get a PhD?
Was it because
- better salary
- prestige
- job promotion
- genuine academic interest
- you didn't know what to do with life & you had a sponsor
- your father told you to
I did ask a couple of PhD's in real life. One said prestige, the other said better salary... which she now regrets becoz a lecturer's salary really sucks.
Does anyone really go for a PhD because they were truly interested in the knowledge?

1) the salary is lousy and it is not worth it
2) everyone has it now even if you are brain dead you can get one
3) since everyone has phd, job promotion is not based on phd
4) perhaps if you are interested it is just for that
5) if you have a sugar daddy and mummy ask them to buy you a house rather than a phd, more worth it that way
6) if your father told you to then it is up to you whether it is worth it or not
I agree lecturer salary really sucks and students want to beat you up especially the Khazak ones.
