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.
When I graduated high school one of the substitute teachers I kept in touch with was telling me how her husband couldn't find work because his degree was too advanced for a lot of the positions in the area. Pretty sure they ended up moving out of state so he could find work. Couldn't tell you what his degree was in, though.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
