But couldn't that be said for virtually anything 20-somethings do? What about working for a startup? Or starting one? Those things involve opportunity costs too. I agree with you that it would ideal if everyone could have the benefit of wisdom and maturity before making life decisions, but that isn't going to happen. In the meantime, if you enjoy research, I say do a PhD. If you enjoy working on startups, I say do that. It's not like either of those things (provided the PhD is in STEM) are going to lead to a life of insurmountable poverty... |
