It will also deter many from entering the profession as the salary will not
reflect the effort required to obtain an Ed.D.  If you want to be well paid
in the world of education you do not become an EP most of whom are paid a
great deal less than the teachers / heads etc. they advise.  The shortage
may actually be worse than expected due to the ageist attitudes of many
services and LEA's.  My experience is that principals prefer younger and
less experienced no doubt because it easier to fit them into the policy
straitjacket, experience counts for little, adherence to policy issues and
flavour of the month is much more important.
