Women phd holders around the world, what made you pursue phd ?

I have a bachelor's degree and I work in an automotive manufacturing company. I am thinking of pursuing higher studies from sometimes and I'm thinking of considering masters then a job. But I'm also getting some advise about phd.

Would it be worth to do masters+phd ? I mean I would love to have a Dr infront of my name and to be among 2% of women who have phd.

I am actually good in studies, I liked studies, but I don't know if I have what it takes to have a phd ?

Any advise ?

Hi, I’m a 24F from India planning to move to Canada next year for higher studies. Lately I’ve been feeling really stuck in the work → home → repeat kind of life here, and I think a big part of me wants a life with more freedom, balance, safety and just… room to live a little.

I know Canada isn’t perfect and I’m not expecting a movie-like life, but I’d really love to hear from girls/women who moved there from countries like India. Did life actually feel different after moving? Was it easier to make friends, go out alone, date, explore, feel independent etc? Or was it lonelier than expected?

Would genuinely appreciate honest experiences :)
