No. Low pay, not enough gratitude for doing it. The work hours are flexible enough to fit around childcare though, so it currently works for me.
The problem with a university education seems, that if you do not work in science, you end up inevitablyas a boss of people while nobody taught you how to do it and you have a budget and nobody taught you how to manage that. You have a degree that states you have some sense. And people think that qualifies for management tasks. What if you never wanted to be a manager? What if you hate to deal with staff and other humans ? What if you lack talent to manage budgets and never wanted to be an accountant? I can solve a couple of complex scientifical problems, but the easy sensible solutions I have for the always failing management tasks are opposed as if I proposed to introduce daily enemata for all.
grad school in the sciences? I will almost always encourage people to get an M.S. because doing so in STEM is usually paid for, and opens many doors job/career-wise. but you have to be really careful about where you go. if you go to a school with a shitty community where faculty don't treat you like a whole ass person, it'll be hell. as far as a PhD goes, while it is also paid for in STEM, it closes many doors. you will overqualified for many jobs. so don't get a PhD unless you absolutely know what you want to do with it. because a PhD is usually hell anyway regardless of the community
