In the US, unless it's from one of the top 10 universities (Stanford, MIT, etc) I don't think it will be a good ROI. The cost is quite high and what you'll learn is probably going to be a lot less useful to employers than someone who has 3-5 years of real world job experience. The only reason I see to get this degree would be to have a career in teaching in academia.
