Ask HN: Would you leave a well paid job to start a PhD?
Hello,
Imagine that you have a well paid job (that you like) and a stablished carrer with potential to evolve and suddenly an opportunity to enter on a PhD program (in a field of study that you have interest) with grant support arise.
Would you leave your job to follow the PhD?
Imagine that at least 4 to 6 years will be needed to complete the PhD and during this time, the only money that you´ll be able to get will be from your PhD grant.
