Why don't so many people want to study for a doctorate in engineering?

why do you like to recruit doctors? ”。 He replied: "If a person can read a doctor's degree, then he (she) must dare to face up to any problem that has never happened before in this world. This is the quality we are looking for. "

this quality is not only needed by academic institutions, but also by industries in various fields. As far as I know:

Technology companies (especially industry leaders such as Google and Microsoft) often have internship and recruitment programs for doctoral students.

Large multinational consulting companies (McKinsey, Boston Consulting, Reuters) are more inclined to recruit doctoral graduates.

In the financial field (especially high-tech fund companies and investment banks), the demand for doctors is also very large.

Recently, biotechnology companies that are particularly hot in the United States are also a great place for many doctors to go after graduation.

What these companies are trying to acquire is not necessarily the skills acquired by a person during his doctoral period, but the perseverance, emotional intelligence, wisdom and indomitable spirit reflected in this long, boring, arduous and failed study process.
