discrimination....thats what it is.

the way i see it, it's probably not advisable to begin a doctorate unless you are pretty sure you are financially prepared for it. i myself waited seven years to apply for a PhD until I'd saved enough. (unconditionally accepted and just begun. YAY! ... oh sh*t!)

Also, it very much depends on your project. It's not all about how hard you work, sometimes there are things that are out of your control. In a biomedical field, for example, it may take 2-3 years before you have collected enough samples or you might have to wait for a clinical trial to finish before the data can be unblinded etc. It can take a year or more to perfect an assay, the list is endless! ;o)

Not likely as you will be paying 1 year fewer fees.

Helen, I was in the same situation and I went for the industry... making a good living now, so no regrets... thinking about it, phd would be great, but now i am thinking mba... also depends on if you need a phd to find respect where you'll work... lots of items to think about... a friend of mine did her phd in 10 years!!! hope you like research... don't reject the phd offer until you secure a job you like!
