Education and further/higher education, for that matter, are indicative of one of two major factors. One is to acquire a passport to gainful employment/occupation, and the other is to quench the thirst for more knowledge. Unless one's aim is to remain or land in the education (teaching) field, they may obtain a Ph.D. purely for knowledge's sake. Perhaps they would like to conduct research in any given field or create new knowledge too.

To decide if you should pursue a Ph.D., you have to first decide your future career preferences. If a Ph.D. aligns with your career preferences and progression, please go ahead and enroll.

Personally, though I would have liked to pursue a Ph.D., I have stayed away from it. It is extremely enriching to study further to become a better human being. Career considerations can follow. Whether higher knowledge will help you perform your current job better, there is no question. It certainly will.

If you are academically oriented, then a Ph.D. is a natural extension. Otherwise, you may not enjoy it much, even after obtaining your Ph.D.

I hope I have been able to help develop your thoughts on whether you should or should not pursue a Ph.D.

Best of Luck and Cheers!
