Funny, the article explains “how”, but I don’t see any discussion of “why” at all.

- voxl 5y agoBecause the "why" is always going to be personal. A PhD in CS is never going to be a sane financial choice, and it has heavy risks if you find yourself with a bad advisor. Anyone who has thought about doing a PhD critically knows that there is no reason to tell someone else to do one, and that their reasons for doing one likely only apply to them.
- bo1024 5y agoWell, it's funny (haha and peculiar) because of the title.
- Ar-Curunir 5y agoIt depends on the area of CS. Eg: a PhD from a good group in NLP/CV or ML generally can get you a fantastic well-paying position in industry that would be out of reach without the PhD. Same for, e.g., cryptography.
