Comment by Saxon on March 4, 2013 at 1:56am The current status is that a PhD might make it harder for you to find a job. The son of a distinguished researcher in Canada that I know had a PhD, got no jobs with his PhD ... but when he disguised it as "research project", and only mentioned his MSc as his highest degree, he got a job rather easily. Maybe worth doing a double Masters instead, if you are thinking about employability.
Comment by Errol R. Alger on March 3, 2013 at 6:05pm Thanks for the input Saxon. I'm not real gung ho about it -- MEd was hard enough on family. On the other hand, I want to remain employable for a number of years.
Comment by Saxon on March 3, 2013 at 5:24pm A PhD is a *lot* of work, but it is also a very interesting project. Weigh it against other things in your life. If you have a wife ... well, make sure you have a wife when you finish your PhD; they tend to wear down marriages.
