I know I want to pursue a PhD (I've wanted to for a long time, I'm not really sure why), hopefully I will get accepted into a program when I graduate with my master's in December. I guess it's just because I love learning and if I could, I'd be a student forever. This is the next best thing!

I, too, would recommend going to school. You will increase your chances for finding a better job and can figure out what you like as you take classes. I found college to be way more enjoyable than "real" work. You can take advantage of things like studying abroad and get to experience things you may not have the opportunity to do again.
