  • It makes sense to get a PhD if you want to teach. In other fields, someone is expected to get a PhD. Mechanical Engineering is somewhere in between, where some work besides teaching would reasonably require a PhD.

  • I earned my Ph.D. in systems engineering about 3 yrs ago as an older student (late 40s). The benefits are both professional and personal.
    Let’s hit the professional first. It depends on your field and your peer group. I know in the federal government, degrees and certifications are valued, so it can help to conduct engineering services and to consult. Also, if your peers have advanced degrees, then a Ph.D. helps not only set you apart but helps establish you with inherent authority in your field.
    In some fields, like academia, a Ph.D. is expected for tenure track positions. However, an MS will normally be acceptable at the community college level. In engineering, an MS or a professional engineer degree is more acceptable.
    Personally, you can get a lot of personal satisfaction from a Ph.D. degree. It is one of the things in life that you really need to want.

  • Hello Dear, According to me, The greatest advantage of the PhD is that it gives you experience in carrying out detailed research. PHD teaches you to find out new things, to carry out experiments, to report data, and learn from your mistakes.
