| Comment | I don't think it's valid to compare a doctorate - which is really only of value to an academic career (or at best a very focussed R&D role in industry) - with an MSc that can effectively act as vocationally-focussed training.
Plus, by implication, doing a PhD means an additional 3+ years not gaining vocational experience, which is a big negative aspect, compared to only 1 for the MSc.
(also Oxford and Cambridge don't charge any more than anywhere else so not sure why mom and dad need to be rich to go there) |
