A few thoughts, but looking forward to hearing from others:
1) Don't do an econ PhD for the title. It's too long and intense for that. Do it only if you are interested in doing research and see the PhD process itself as a job that you might enjoy.

2) Many experience 1sr year (i.e. 8 months) as the worst, but then with field classes and research it gets closer to what you enjoy. Once in, dont quit because you don't enjoy the first year, that is not at all representative of how the rest will be.
