So much this. PhD just means you are earning significantly less than your peers for at least six years, and then if you stay in academia, it’s less your whole life. There are some nice perks though, but for purely monetary reasons, you do not go for a PhD.

Yeah basically the only PhD that pays is AI research if it can get you a job at OpenAI.
But better hurry before we move on to the next fad!
