I have studied in Belgium where university is very cheap (800 euros per year), so most of the people would go into either a bachelor or a master degree.

When we were about to finish, the university tried to get some of us to stay as PhD students. Nobody did, just because the industry seemed more up-to-date and less reluctant to change.

Is it the case in your countries too?
