Ha! If only! To continue doing research, the usual next step is a postdoc (~$50k/yr). Industry positions pay better, but outside of ML, there aren't tons of them and biotech (for example, which the media lab does) salaries aren't crazy high.
I'd bet that anyone with a PhD could have made more money with a masters degree and a switch to industry.
