Am I then just an overpriced, overeducated person? It doesn't guarantee a job I know, but it's something I'm considering but the outlook is what holds me back. thx.

Very few people pay for their own PhD (especially at the better schools). Universities almost always provide help for PhD students. During my first year at Berkeley, I had a fellowship. In subsequent years, I was either a TA or an RA. My tuition and fees were paid, and I was given a stipend that paid enough to cover room and board.

it is not so much the cost but the viability of using the degree once you have it...I was an anthropology/history major as an undergrad and became highy depressed when looking at the possibility of getting a job in the real world...I also did not want to deal with the politics and hassles of most PhD programs that I was familiar with...it is an individual choice one has to make as to whether they want to stay in the Ivory Tower or wander outside the gates...
