[quote=Anonymous]Sorry OP...but I'm with your parents on this. In this area, you don't need a PhD to dive into research/policy. And you may end up with a HUGE amount of debt just to pay a university to do the research on your own that you could get paid by a special interest, think tank, or lobby group to do! Then once you get your PhD you miiiight land a university assistant prof. gig in some women's studies dept. but they make ZERO money. I'm not kidding, OP. Do your homework on this. And yet you could end up looking "too overeducated" to be a useful hire elsewhere. Be smart about this. Get a job in your field first. Then consider what you want/need the PhD for and go back later if you decide it's worth the investment.[/quote]
