Maybe that's what the prosperity preachers mean by keeping your eye on things above.

If you have a PH.D. then you already have a leg up on everyone else. Just gather together 278 of your doctorate friends and add up all the money all of you make during the 40 or so years of your career and presto!, One billion dollars.

The funny thing about PhDs is the huge discrepancy in incomes. To make money from a PhD you have to do 1 or 2 of 3 different things.

1.) Write, be an author, sell your books or textbooks.

2.) Do reseach work that earns you patents and royalties.

3.) Have a successful practice ie. Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer etc...

Otherwise a PhD is only another thing to hang on your wall and collect dust.

There ya go again listening to the deceitfulness of riches that says that if you get it, you've gotta keep it. :D
