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?

Going through a phd, u get to learn how to do research in a proper and 'acceptable' manner. That is the most important benefit, but only if you work in research/academic. If not, work experience is more important than phd in most kind of professions.
