I agree with you.
If you roll the time back to 1960s', in which school teachers and government
jobs were recognised as the best careers; even bachelor degrees were thought
very good in that time. If there were PTT existing, people might be discussing
'to get a master degree would make your future narrower'.
However, is that true? Certainly, not. The real story is the economy of this
country have been upgrading from traditional-agriculture-base, family
manufacture, until now, to advanced manufacture. (Excuse me, I cannot agree
the current Taiwanese electronic manufacture style can be catalogued as a
'hi-tech' one. I know they do do R&D, yet not that proper R&D.
On the other hand, suppose they did do good R&D, basically, you would not come
here to worry about a PhD's future, will you?)
If Taiwanese keep doing manufacture like now without upgrading more to a higher
level --- the labour structure will not change too much, then an increasing
number of PhDs will definitely over supply the labour market. It would be even
worse, if the current industries keep spend money on upgrading China merely to
get cheap labour cost, rather than on upgrading themselves to make a higher
level of R&D ability (which requires more PhDs).
However, if the story goes to another streamline, if Taiwanese industries do
spend their money on upgrading their R&D and set their goals to become one of
the main leading technical suppliers in the future, then they will inevitably
have to employ more and more doctorate labours. Why?
If you want an absolutely quality of research, three masters together is not
better than a PhD working properly, neither does 9 bachelors nor 27
technicians or whatever.
Yes, if you go to career earlier rather than go for a PhD, you can certainly
occupy a position with a master degree, or equivalent ability, having more
choices. However, a position of what? You cannot expect to lead a research
group, which consists of mostly PhDs, just because you are pretty experienced
or merely aged. This is why you always see some old men studying for
their PhDs.
I know, for industries, to get a PhD employee is more expensive. However,
a PhD is usually not paid three times more than, roughly, a master's payment.
And an absolute good product is usually much more expensive and thus can make
much more profit. Hope the industries can realise this soon.
So, rather to argue which side (a PhD is good or not for your future)
is correct or not. I dare to suggest:
Com'on gentlemen, let's consider things like a PhD!
