"When many more reach the educational level which was previously a monopoly for a small minority, most of them must accept jobs which were not previously acceptable to people with that degree of education, or else they will be unemployed. This is due to the simple fact that the number of non-manual jobs available is likely to increase more slowly than the number of educated persons available to fill them. But this fact is not easily accepted by those concerned.”

listening to someone who works for a search firm talk how much to ask for your opening wages
she recommends 'many interviews' and in-depth research on cost-of living for cities
seems so bleak
yeah.
on the plus side, we can hang out with 30-year-olds because we have pretty much accomplished as much as they have, professionally.
on the minus side, we're totally fucked and so is everyone else.
in terms of getting in a good place financially, "i'm going to go to grad school" is about as reliable a plan as "i'm going to marry paris hilton".
"The only thing the PhD now reliably confers is the potential for lifetime poverty and underemployment."

"Graduate education is the Detroit of higher learning. Most graduate programs in American universities produce a product for which there is no market (candidates for teaching positions that do not exist) and develop skills for which there is diminishing demand (research in subfields within subfields and publication in journals read by no one other than a few like-minded colleagues), all at a rapidly rising cost (sometimes over $100,000 in student loans)."
-Taylor, M. (2009). New York Times, April 26.
"The graduate student is the epitome of the new flex worker in the 'no-collar' workforce".
-Adamson, M. (2010). "Graduate Education is the Dubai of Higher Learning". ACADEME, Journal of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). January-February, pp. 25.
