Would you ever consider a PhD?
I don't mean for career advancement, rather would you ever consider getting a PhD late in life when you are old just for self enrichment?

PhD for self-enrichment? Lol did you break your left hand or something?

Yes totally, I think getting a PhD or lecturing (which, sometimes, you need a PhD to do) would be so beneficial to ex-practitioners. Preserves the knowledge, learn new skills & putting it to good use
