Proxy question: Do you want to be a professor? If "yes!" go for a PhD. If there's any uncertainty, don't.

I wish someone had told me that before I started.

I wouldn't be so fast. Lots of people want to be professors, way more people than there are viable jobs. Some of the interviews bring out that point.
