[quote=Anonymous]As someone already pointed out, it's not about intelligence or anything like that, it's about having assistance navigating the academic system, having connections, and so on. It's quite difficult to get a job as a professor, and a lot of PhD's without connections will not succeed. I am one of those. Also, PhD's cost a whole lot of money, and if you have to borrow it, they tend not to get a very good ROI, and sometimes none. I have a PhD and my husband doesn't, but he makes three times what I do. I would strongly discourage my child from seeking a PhD, as I consider it a dead end career path and a tremendous waste of time and money unless you are either completely brilliant or have a strong network in place.
