Practical reasons of pursuing a Ph.D

1. Make a name for yourself
• At age 22, you have to initiate, formulate, and execute a work, where you might not have such an opportunity in industry.
• All works done by you will sorely belong to you constructing your portfolio. In contrast in firms, all your work will belong to the company.
2. Fail in a safe environment - A Ph.D is the only job your failure can work as a seed for next success, not hurting your career path badly.
3. More opportunities after getting the degree.
