If your main goal was to make money then YES you have chosed the wrong path and you're doomed !

You don't do PhD thinking that you'll make tons of money.

You do PhD if you have a passion for something.

These days there are many Nepali students who enroll in PhD program right after Undergraduate just to maintain status for a longer period of time.

If you're really interested in doing some research and love working in labs then PhD is the right thing to do. I don't really care whether you're called "Doctors" or not...Its not a big deal...Maybe if it was years ago you'd have got lots of respect.

Medical doctors used to get lots of repect few years ago until China/Bangaladesh/Phillipines produced enromous amount of Nepali doctors who had only passmarks in SLC and I.SC. So, there are two types of people (one: really brilliant and interested, two: just to get the fame and not  interested)

I assume you're one of those who's not really interested and want to make money.
My suggestion: Quit the program, enroll in some IT coursework , get some training and start making 100K !
