npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) my own view, biased as it is, is that PhDs taken immediately after securing bachelor's degrees via the MPhil or equivalent route are both worthless for most individuals and heavily push by Universities as a way for them to screw yet more money out of people. Conversely Masters or even doctorates taken after a period away from academia, invariably seem to be of value to both parties. Perhaps it's the timing that matters, and Unis should stop being rapacious and think long term.
