I've got very little respect for a PhD. It's not nearly as much of an accomplishment as it's given credit for. It's just a title for staying in school longer and selling your soul to academia. At least that's how it seemed when I was in college. You want a PhD be prepared to figuratively (and perhaps literally) suck an absolute ton of dick. That was in engineering even, I can only imagine in the artsy studies.
Probably the most practical use for a PhD I've seen in industry is it seems to fast-track you for project management and people management positions, because if you had to deal with grants and (under)graduate assistants to help you with your work the skills directly translate.
