Seeking PhD education advice

Hello,

 

I am in a bit of a dilemma and I am seeking advice from the community.

 

I am a 40+ security professional wondering whether it is worth it pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy in Information Security. I graduated with a Masters degree in information security a couple of years ago, and since then, I can not seem to find a job that matches with my qualifications. Even the additional certifications do not seem to help ...

 

I know it is a very costly venture, but is it worth the dare just for job satisfaction ?

 

Regards,

Brian.

@emb021 OK thank you for explain this and I guess I have seen it myself and know how frustrating it can be. Here is one crazy idea that would make things better but I don't see it ever happening, requiring recruiters to be tested and licensed! They do this in many other fields and it would probably get rid of the ones who don't really know what they are doing.

 

Just my .02
