Is a PhD in Science worth it?

It has to motivate you enough to get out of bed for the next three years and start working.I actually want to do a second one now, but doing a PhD has hurt me financially over my career and potential employers worry that I won't stick around. But I do benefit from having a PhD when applying for the few jobs which are suited to me.

What field is your PhD in?  And, by the way, great answer to my question!
