How much additional time and money would it take you to finish your PhD?

I really don't know very much about academia, but it seems like your best bet would be to finish the PhD (assuming the remaining requirements aren't huge) and then be willing to relocate anywhere in the country to teach at the high school or college level.

I have friends who are both in their early 30s, one who is going back to school for digital forensics and one who is going back for accounting. The forensics program is like a 2 year type thing at a community college, and I am honestly not sure what his job prospects will be like after he finishes. He said they have a lot of guest lecturers, and basically 90% or more of what the professionals say they deal with is child porn.

Accounting seems relatively safe, but it's a longer program and also seems like more of a personality transition to go from philosophy to accounting. What made you come up with these two choices? Are they just what people randomly told you you should do?
