Dude, it is ridiculous, unless you live in one of the few countries where the title gets you special treatment. You're clearly not in such a country as you're talking about the cost

I wouldn't want special treatment for it though. Like, I want the title and satisfaction it would bring. A PhD is a huge achievement and I would be getting the degree to better myself. I want to accomplish great things for myself and myself alone. I'm also in IT, so a PhD would only help me in my career if I wanted to go into academia.
