If you have to ask then no. Do the PhD because you are passionate about the subject and learning and self improvement. 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.
