How do I tell my Professors I don't want a PhD?

Thank you both for answering my question!

I thought I was the only one.

I think it’s a great idea to let my professors know that I’ll keep a PhD open for the future (even though I really don’t want one!) That will soothe them over.

It seems like they are so focused on reproducing themselves (academics) and not being practical- Unless I go to a top school, a PhD in my field isn’t worth it, and even then…
