I mean if we're going by anecdotes: - I made more on my first day of work than almost any of my professors will make on their last day work. - I also personally know 3 PhDs at tech companies in the Bay that make substantially less than me despite being 4-6 years older than me. - I am also acquainted with two people that made an obscene amount of money from their tech skills; one maxed out at a high diploma and the other a PhD. - The other 20 or so PhDs I know don't make substantially more than I do. - I've also seen a few PhDs at my last company end up as systems engineers which is incredibly depressing because they could have been employed in that same role if they stopped at a bachelors. |

It’s only depressing if they feel like they didn’t get anything out of their PhD :)
