I propose to start a thread on discussions on the value of PhDs and Doctorate degrees. Some PhDs take up to at least 3/4 years of intensive research. Is it worth the time and effort?

Having just completed my masters degree, I'm considering pursuing a phd out of my passion for teaching and research. But in the context of the Nigerian situation, is this a worthwhile venture? What are the benefits of and odds against having a phd degree?

Please let all in the house who are either interested in a phd or currently pursuing one comment on this.

Dr Donut, i'm sorry if i got your name spelt wrongly. I no your won't be reading this cause you're much too busy looking for whom to SCAM. You've talent use it in something positively productive. Take care of yourself and Cheers
