Reply to comment by mietminderung in [D] life advice to relatively late bloomer ML theory researcher. by notyourregularnerd
If the ability to conduct independent research is the most valuable skill for a PhD... A master graduate could close that gap by publishing several papers during his/her career? Maybe he/she can also become more valuable since the additional years in the job market (as /u/dvorakcoder said)

Yes of course. There are more than one ways to achieve an outcome. That said, the skills you want to learn from a PhD are best learnt from spending dedicated time in one. The quality will show. You can hack around it. However, very few people are able to sustain.
In any case, the question of - is this a relevant skill to earn more income - will always be a personal choice and question.
