One thing many PhD students have in common is dissatisfaction. Some describe their work as “slave labour”. Seven-day weeks, ten-hour days, low pay and uncertain prospects are widespread. You know you are a graduate student, goes one quip, when your office is better decorated than your home and you have a favourite flavour of instant noodle. — economist.com

My thesis professor is pushing hard for us to consider going the PhD route. Something I maybe would've considered back in '06 when I was just ut of undergrand and finding out how much I enjoyed research, but now after a few years of working under my belt and married, I want real life to start, not to be stuck as a student for another decade or so.
