I quit my PhD with a masters after I heard one really good saying that went against my ADD: PhDs learn a lot about almost nothing. Said differently, 20 years ago, if you got a PhD in chemistry it was typically very specialized (synthetic, analytical, etc) and that’s all you could really do in the field. I business I’ve moved pretty easily between functions and it’s just what I needed personally. I know some people love making new discoveries and becoming the preeminent expert in something, but I think some folks need to be able to jump around with their financial viability intact.
