The one benefit of obtaining a Phd when you are young? You can always fall back to teaching in colleges! LOL. Colleges 30 years ago often accepted M.A.s as sufficient to teach, or a law degree. Now they require a PhD for everything. So if you obtain your Phd and enter the for profit world or government world…and then decide mid life to change directions, you can find a job.

There is going to be a HUGE number of college professors retiring soon. Go to graduate school if you can. Its a lot of work and it means being poor for 6 more years but will pay dividends later in life.
