If you have to ask, it is not. If you were truly dedicated to your discipline it would not even be a question, it would be an automatic commitment.

education is fantastic. what field? what aim? whatever it is, youll need a good social network and a good overview of the opportunities in your field. also, be good at what you do.

I've been told that I may be doing original research into my chosen subject matter, and this has encouraged me to pursue a PhD in my field. I originally started on the road of my ideas when I was still getting my MA and they formed the bulk of my master's thesis. I presented them at a conference this summer and got some pushback that basically amounted to the fact that my ideas are interesting and need more work.

I could do this all on my own, in theory, but why not try for a PhD so I'd get paid to study?

So that's my own personal story. I know it's not typical, I know a lot of people seem to get a PhD just to get one. But I, at least, have an external motivation.

Assistant professor or secondary school teacher

What's the doctoral stipend in your country?
>>
>>25611081
Yes.
Because education is what you make of it.

I wrote my thesis conforming to the rigorous requirements of the 20th century. My classmates simply did what was necessary to pass. No doubt they got the same certificate, but I know that not only is my thesis at a glance visibly better than theirs, I can also undergo a viva voce of my thesis anytime and defend it successfully, and my classmates cannot.
Because I learned the proper skills, the real knowledge, and they didn't. It doesn't matter to me that both my lecturers and examiners were idiots, I taught myself from the resources they gave me.

If the knowledge is what you seek, then you can never go wrong. If the certification is what you seek, either way, you need it.

probably conference-speak for "you need further research to see if they are actually novel or relevant" or "you need to improve your research methodology and presentation"

the monetary benefit is intuitively easy to calculate, especially now with fucking AI giving you all the quick and easy answers

This doesn't even make sense. There's some obvious flaw they aren't mentioning.

You do not need a PhD for this
If you are driven, absolutely compelled to do research into your field, then a PhD may be worthwhile spiritually.
As a career move it is awful.

>>25611081
Depends on the field and the university.
