There is no free lunch in this world. The money for your pay while studying comes from your future income stream, which is diminished upon getting the PhD. Most people don't realise that a PhD has a negative value to their long term career.
The law of supply and demand dictates that everything in this world has a price. Somethings just have a negative price, and thus have to be "encouraged" by the Government. Think life sciences. Most of those who were "tricked" into it would have led a happier alternative life, in an alternative dimension, if they had not gone into it in the first place.
