I think the main pitch has to simply be about the opportunity to basically pause your (professional) life and opportunities to increase your advancement in a career/gain increased wages in order to intellectually explore some things. It's fine to do that but that's the reality.
Is it fine? It seems that treating a PhD like a vanity good rather than a path to a profession is going to cause academic inquiry to go back to being what it was in 1800s, the province of the wealthy leisured class. With negative implications for both society and scholarship.
Then universities have to pay their doctoral students meaningful wages or reduce the timeline for getting a PhD, and of course paying doctoral students better would take away from administrator salaries...
I mean, yes. Professionals (and all workers) ought to be paid decently and well, including graduate student workers.
I don’t think it’s a dichotomy between a path to a profession and a vanity good. And I don’t think five, or however many, years of good, sincere intellectual work during a PhD is a vanity good. It’s not a path to a profession anymore. If that’s the problem—and it is—we need jobs!
No, that's a fair perspective. I am more reacting to the stance - taken by too many tenured academics - that pursuing an academic discipline is like taking monastic vows of poverty, obedience and stability...little realizing that if there is no money, only the rich can do that.
