This gets it right, I think. And I say that as someone who does not regret taking five years to get a PhD.
A PhD is too long, narrow, and frustrating to do just to get a slightly fatter paycheck.
For some reason, that deep dive clicked with me, and I’m grateful for all the personal growth that came from that. But for the vast majority of people, I think it could easily end as an exercise in frustration.
