I'm not sure this works well - last time "I" made a decision, "I" preferred five years of work for a PhD title to a $90k job now. It would seem unlikely that I'd prefer a $90k job now over two years of work for a PhD title, especially given that I'm now more sure that there are good jobs waiting for me.
Thanks, Joachim. Like I said, I don't know much about PhD programs. What would be some better numbers to make the point?
I'm sorry, but I have no idea - I'm in the Netherlands, which has a different academic/economic structure than the US.
