A PhD program will get you free tuition. Don't ever pay for a PhD program at a US university. If you do a PhD program where you get a Masters along the way, then you could get a Masters for free and then drop out if you want. There are a lot fewer paid tuitions for Masters students, a lot of these students have their companies pay full tuition.
As long as you can get into a PhD program, it gives you a lot more flexibility and is cheaper than a Masters program.
- abless 19y agoRight, but PhD admissions is naturally much more competitive. But leaving financial aspects aside for a moment, is a PhD worth 4-6 years for a future career in the business world?
- rms 19y agoNo, you should only do it if you will find the learning itself personally enriching or you desire a career in academia, a corporate research lab, or a hedge fund. You should only do it if you really want to, not because it will pay of at some time in the future.
