It might differ between countries, but I've found that physics is one of the most valued degrees. It's a demonstration of problem-solving skills that are very desirable for a variety of jobs (e.g. software development).

I have a PhD in physics and work in industry for the last 25 years.

My PhD was sure a very nice to have, but never a life changer.

Would I do it again? Probably yes because of the tremendous joy research brought me (and free time for parties!).

Did I recommend it to my kids? No, they are better off with me specific studies.
