What is your career goal? If you want to be faculty, phd is required for most of the position If you want to enter industry, master is better Companies prefer to hire master
Last sentence is far from truth. At least for Stats, PhD is much more preferred or even required for a lot of positions in industry.

在徘徊中,统计专业,是硕士毕业直接找工作还是继续读博。如果读博,平均也要四年吧,最大的致命伤就是时间问题,想想自己出国读了两个硕士,还要继续phd,有点时间过长。另外phd也是个辛苦活,读paper,上课,qualify,thesis,每一个都是坎。而硕士工作缺点就是不容易找到好工作。求有经验的人给点建议……
master可以找programmer,也不难找。phd一般就是data scientist 或者statistician
如果同是fresh graduate,我相信PhD工资高,就业某些时候比master有优势。可是如果是fresh PhD和有四五年经验的master, 个人感觉后者优势很明显。这也是LZ要面临的选择,积攒几年工作经验可能比读书更有效。当然,如果能同时part time PhD绝对最优解了
去工业界就直接工作,好多公司给付学费呢

但是长远来看,phd+working experience会值钱更多!可以选择的范围也多了太多了,还是值得读一个的。。。
如果楼主的目的就是赚钱养家,那硕士能找到工作就去工作吧!即使读了博士四五年后也不一定比现在的硕士好找工作。
如果楼主希望在学术上更上一层楼,将来有更多潜在的发展机会,那就去读博士,年龄不是问题,三四十读博的大有人在。
另外很重要的一点,同样进industry,ms和phd做的工作很不一样的。一些position是进去就要带team,搞新的methodology,必须phd+工作经验。并不是ms+5年经验就能等于phd+1年经验的。they lead to quite different career path。
建议你可以先找工作试试,看看能不能达到你的预期。
