Is a PhD in Science worth it?
#27
RE: Is a PhD in Science worth it?
PhD's in science often get assistantships, so tuition is waived. Whether it's worth the angst or not is totally dependent on what you want to do with it. I didn't get one because I think it would make me harder to employ. It can narrow your scope significantly. If that works for you, great.
I work in industry, and biology PhD's are handsomely paid in general.

I saw a very significant jump in pay when I got my MS in biology. I suspect it would have been even more significant if I had gotten a doctorate.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
