Even if you can do PhD work without a PhD, you won’t be respected by other PhD’s so it will be much tougher to advance your career in R&D.

my question is, if you are not willing to put in 4 or 5 years of devotion in phd, what makes you think you are committed enough to do research, which is a career that takes decades of effort? simply put, if you are not sure about getting a phd, don’t go for it.

plus that you will have tons of opportunities with a masters degree in biochemical/chemical engineering. don’t limit yourself with the option of research only.
