I kinda want to get a doctorate in computers but being a useless grad student during the collapse of society seems like a poor choice (hexbear.net)

Do it if you like research and know what you're getting into. It's also okay to not get one.

Consider this as well: if you do a PhD program you will usually be paid and get a tuition waiver and if you drop out after the first 2 years you'll usually pick it up a Master's. If you go straight for a Master's you'll usually have to pay tuition and won't get paid. So if you want, you can give it a shot for 2 years and then do an honest retrospective with the option to bail with no regrets.
