If I can contribute anything: don't do a Ph.D. just because you're not sure exactly what you want to do.

It may work out in the long run (thankfully it did eventually for me), but a M.Sc. is much shorter, and you may be more employable with one vs. a Ph.D.

Although do what you feel, maybe just think of this comment if you're questioning.

(Also sorry, my experience is only in science)

    I hired a gal with a phD in philosophy for a marketing position. She was so happy to have a job. She said she removed her phD from her LinkedIn but kept it in her resume because nobody would even give her the time of day.

    A PhD is only worth it (both in time and money) if you have a real interest in what you are researching.
