If I can contribute anything: don’t do a Ph.D. just because you’re not sure exactly what you want to do.
It may work out in the long run (thankfully it did eventually for me), but a M.Sc. is much shorter, and you may be more employable with one vs. a Ph.D.
Although do what you feel, maybe just think of this comment if you’re questioning.
I hired a gal with a phD in philosophy for a marketing position. She was so happy to have a job. She said she removed her phD from her LinkedIn but kept it in her resume because nobody would even give her the time of day.
yup, and its actually detrimient to have it on your resume as part of your title, because employers dont want to hire someone that would be potentially asking for too high of a salary.

A PhD is only worth it (both in time and money) if you have a real interest in what you are researching.

My family member got one in early childhood ed and can’t find a job because he’s over qualified and their afraid they’ll just find a better job.
