I hear that PhDs can be overqualified for certain positions in industry because they are expected to find these positions boring, and view them as steppingstones onto other positions.

I’m still not sure whether I want to do research or be an engineer. MS seems like the window to more opportunities, but PhDs get funding.

What are people’s perspectives on this?
