This is the one response that made sense..
Not everyone is cut out to do a PhD ...
Not everyone is comfortable dealing with issues of profit, loss and organizational politics in industry (though politics and money are a factor in any job).
So pick you poison based on your strenghts and inclinations, and be the best at what you do !

I did not want to waste so many years of my life earning a PhD and even then have no guarantee of earning VERY good money. On the flip side, getting industry experience and specially industry CERTIFICATIONS can boost your pay tremendously. No disrespect but i have seen that a very few PhDs end up successful in industry and mostly end up in teaching/research (which i dont like).
