PhD - To Do or Not To Do | 5 comments (5 topical, 0 hidden)
[new] work now go back later (none / 0) (#6)

I don't see any issue with working for a few years and then deciding whether you feel the need to go for a doctorate or are happy with the work you get as is.  I know someone who did something like this and is finishing up his doctorate now but in a subfield of math that was seriously infuenced by his career.  Just remember to save your money and not to get addicted to a large income.  One way to avoid the addiction is to pay off your undergrad loans triple time.
