For sure you should work and do these types of degrees on the side. A PhD is a different animal.
A PhD is more than a different animal; it's a beast. It is the most soul-sucking experience one can ever have. It minumim returns on several fronts. Take this with a gain of salt from me.
I agree, I feel like many people here don't understand this. Many think it is some advanced UMPI MAOL degree (or other CBE degree) you can ACE-credit your way through.
In most fields, it has next to ZERO ROI, but I feel like there is borderline complex on here about adding random letters or degrees on here from places that 99% of people have no idea exist.
