I know that as an MSW, and eventually an LCSW that I am able to teach and practice and that getting a PHD isn't "worth it" as far as money goes, etc. I am getting married to someone who has a GI bill that would cover rent and tuition for schooling so as it is in my reach I was considering it....there is just so much more I'd like to know, and things I would like to do research on. Is there anyone on here who has got their PHD but regretted it? I felt like my masters program barely taught me anything and that my real life work was more helpful, but am hoping that a PHD program would be a lot more... informative. But unsure if a PSYD would be something I really want to do. Would a PHD in say, family therapy give me much of any clinical skills or would it be more researched based?

You might want to look into marriage and family therapy/couple and family therapy PhDs. Relationships, sexuality, families, systemic contexts, etc... is basically our bread and butter ? I was considering that myself as I feared a PHD in human sexuality may be too limiting as I am interested in looking into relationships AND sexuality... I'd just like to do a fair amount of research on single people too and sexuality.

I'm an LMSW, looking for advice on if I should get a PHD in human sexuality or another PHD? I'm leaning towards wanting to do therapy part time and being a professor full time or part time, and keeping the topic in the realm of relationships, sexuality, and families.
