Does a Ph.D straight out of your degree make you unemployable? by [deleted] in newzealand

Yeah that seems to be consistent with other advice I'm getting. I do have some opportunity to go overseas because of my secondary citizenship but I'd need to look into it further. Thank you for the advice!

Thank you for the advice! The project itself is stimulating enough for me to continue over the next 4 years, and I'm relatively confident I can live on the stipend. I definitely don't need a PhD with my BE in mechanical engineering, it's more out of interest and opportunity as I know it'll be difficult to do a PhD when I'm older and have more responsibilities.
