yeah, I much agree with lurker. I wish I had more data about this, but I suspect the percentage of PhD graduates (let alone people who enter PhD programs) that actually end up in the situation you've described is pretty low.
Also, I just can't agree with a good ROI "regardless of salary". Salary can be lower - quite a bit lower, but there is a limit to the size of the gap. Graeenspun and the RAND study I referenced mentions this - that the financial sacrifice has gotten too great, even for the "winners".
