I've been reading this question, whose premise is that going directly into industry after (presumably) just a bachelor's will make you more money than doing a PhD and then going into industry. To my surprise, most people seemed to agree with the OP.
My thinking has always been that, yes, going into industry with just a bachelor's will make you some money in the short term, but it will also:
A) Land you in a relatively low level position to start.
B) You will eventually hit a ceiling past which you cannot rise.
My thinking has always been that with a PhD you will start in a relatively higher position, and you will not hit a ceiling, so in the long run you will make more money. Why is my reasoning wrong?
