A former mate of mine has a PhD in either geology or geophysics (been a long time, not sure). The last I heard, he was running an insurance cooperative. Why? Because it turned out that he hated doing geoscience for a living.
So, like Mama said, if you're note passionate about your field, I'd have to say no, it isn't worth it. On the other hand, I imagine there are scads of people with doctorates in real science who love what they do so much that the financial hardships and all the other headaches that accompany the process must seem a small price to pay.
Neither of those was the case with me. My doctorate cost just £9.99 from the online University of Woolamoloo (accreditation really, REALLY pending). So, if any of you need a Doctor of Philosophunculism, send me your contact info.
