do what makes you happy. YOU, not your reflection in others. Are you doing a phd because it will impress others; or because you want to? Are you planning to get a job because you need routine and regular interaction with others - or is it social conditioning that makes you embarrassed when others find out you haven't got a job?
In the words of Quentin Crisp - the only way to be happy is to live your life as though you are the only person in the world. |

Don't you get funding for a PhD? Good time to do one given state of economy- we'll come out of recession slowly so even if it takes 3 years it's worthwhile as long as the research is meaningful and opens a potential career path (beyond academia if possible).
