[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Son graduated into 2008 recession with math/science degree. Husband was concerned first salary was really important for long-term career development and steered him to fully funded PhD, advising him to stay there till job market improved. Son graduated with desirable skills for all those faang companies. And the timing was right. And luck of course. Even though your son isn't interested in more school, it seems to me a really good way to wait out a bad job market if your family can swing it financially.[/quote] Fully funded PHD doesn’t mean it’s not costly, there is an opportunity cost of at least 80k/yr and not to mention the time missed working on real world skills.
