And, to answer the original poster . . . It depends upon what he wants to do. If he can't do it with a master's degree, then by all means go for the doctorate. If he can but really enjoys the educational experience, wants to continue it just for the heck of it, and has the means to do so, then go right ahead.
However, I agree with Cole. there are many people out there who have degrees, some of them multiple degrees, who are unable to obtain employment in an area that's even closely related to what they went to university for. Before committing one's self to such an endeaver, I would recommend sitting down and figuring out what you plan on getting out of it. If it's just another piece of paper that has no meaning, then why waste the time and money?

...me and school didnt mix lol 
Loads of money? Have you spoken to any college professors lately? The average professor does not come close to making "loads of money" unless it's in comparison to someone who works in the fast food industry (or something comparable). You typically do not teach because you want to make tons of money. If that is your main priority, then you usually go work somewhere other than academia.
