Because PhDs aren’t fast to acquire. It could take 5-10y to complete. And you usually can’t do a PhD part-time and continue to work.

- maleldil 3y agoFWIW, this is a very US-centric view. In the UK, you will usually do an MSc + PhD in 4.5 years: 1 year for an MSc and 3.5 for a PhD. You can double that time if you want to do it part-time, in which case you can continue working.
