Is Earning a Ph.D. Worth the Cost? | Master's vs. Ph.D. in Counseling

This video answers the question: Is earning a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision worth it? How does the Ph.D. compare to the master's degree? This is specific to counseling, but I think at some level it's also applicable to related fields like marriage and family therapy, social work, and psychology I think that you have to consider the questions around this area in a particular order and maybe the first question would be: What do I want to do? A Ph.D. isn't really so much an identity as a level of education. As far as doing it strictly for an identity - like just to be able to call yourself a doctor or PhD - I don't think this really makes a lot of sense. The Ph.D. is very difficult to get and it's very expensive, so to earn it just to be able to call yourself a doctor seems like a real waste of resources all the way around. If you really did want just the identity, there are doctoral level degrees there much easier to get than a Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision. Another question you may want to ask first would be: Am I good at math? I think this is a question a lot of doctoral students or people consider applying to doctoral programs don't really consider very well, but statistics is a huge part of a Ph.D. Another related question would be: Do I like to write? Writing is a huge part of getting at Ph.D. It is important to look at the cost-benefit of getting a Ph.D. The financial, time, and effort factors should be considered. Overall, earning a Ph.D. is not a good idea for most individuals, but for some it is well worth the costs.
