Why spend your life doing anything at all? I'm biased on the topic since im writing up atm, but it was, if nothing else, a very itnerseting way to spend 4 years of my life.

People seem to get my comment wrong.

I find it very fulfilling to do a PhD and did so myself. More people should. What I mean is that I'm expecting the general view on it to evolve as described.

		Ah. I did indeed misunderstand. Also, as I said, I've got a personal stake, right at the tale end of the PhD, looking for jobs, so I guess im feeling pretty defensive. I certainly hope the general public doesn't feel this way, but I've seen plenty of people say similar things about college degrees now, so it kind of makes sense.
