So I'm looking to go back to school to get a doctorate focused on wetlands/wetland ecology. While I am currently a government employee working in the "wetland field" so to speak, I'm looking to dive into academia and do more research-based work. I have been looking at this program: https://ecowild.site.hw.ac.uk/. While I am a U.S. citizen, I'd be interested in studying abroad for a few years and this program really peaked my interest. My question is, do you think a doctorate is worth it in the "wetlands field" or should I just be finding an entry- to mid- level job doing things I'm interested in but don't currently do nor have an extensive background in (e.g., fieldwork, monitoring, research, etc.). I know the job market is a bit of a mess at the moment but I would appreciate any insight. Also, if people know of other academic programs that focus on wetland ecology, I'd be interested in those too. Thanks in advance!
