I wouldn't! It's looking like its gonna get a lot worse! We have more waves of defaults expected over the next few years and no clear picture in site how we are gonna fix this problem. Graduate but like everyone else, dont have your sights to high because you'll only end up disappointed.

 

Is choosing PhD an evade or a smart alternative at this time? Evade: Just escape the crisis and find a safe shade from campus Smart: Wait and learn.

 

Was there a similar poll conducted this time last year? and years before? I would be interested to know how they turned out. They obviously were better, but I'd be curious to know exactly how much better.
