Did you end up pursuing a phd?

Aside from the sacrifices, and you seem the type able to handle them - think of it this way: You can wake up in the morning 5-7 years from now *with* a PhD, or you can wake up in the morning 5-7 years from now *without* a PhD. And a PhD is *forever.* NO ONE can take that away from you. So which would you rather have?
-
Yes, get a PHD :-) I think you should.

@stevo6969 Couldn't agree more. I have 6 months to go!

Hey, I am in the same situation now... it's going to be a tough journey if I embark on my PhD... Quite daunting, but I do not want to regret later and think back when I am older on the what-if and could-haves.. in a dilemma now...
So did you do your PhD?

Doing a PhD, and take it from me as I work on one, is not about being extremely clever; it's about persistence, just going and going. You'll make mistakes and you'll learn. It's 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration.

So You Want to Get a Ph.D. in Political Scienceby riddlerigmarole173,395 views
I think its a cool idea. You have a such a varied background to choose a perspective topic and it would give you distraction to ease the job hunting woes. Yes, it would be work, but I think that you would enjoy the intellectual challenge. My thesis was in no way a major contribution, but it was an experience that I enjoyed, I liked the challenge even when the work was driving me crazy.
PS: LaTeX is great.
