Should have known that before you got the PhD. They narrow your job prospects WAY down, it makes people almost intimidated to hire you unless they NEED you lol maybe try leaving it off your resume...

This is somewhat common with PhD's, has little to do with economy.

A Phd is just a piece a paper. If you have no experience why should someone hire you over the guy that just got his bachelor's? You will likely demand a significantly higher salary and stick around half as long. IMO you should get a 4 year degree get your feet wet, get a master's when you're ready to handle lower level management and then a PhD when you're ready to reach the top of your field. To get it all at once is idiotic at best.Originally Posted by Thunderpants

Try spain, portugal, france, greece, or italy. Plenty of employment opportunities to go around.
And during your research you should have made enough connections to find work right after. In specialized fields especially, connections are worth more than slightly better grades for example.

that's probably true in most cases - but the more accomplished individuals in my field tend to hold doctorates, and my perspective has always been that obtaining the ultimate level of education would facilitate my advancement
i still think it will eventually pay off, but i am extremely frustrated by the difficulties i've encountered thus far
i've had one interview (for an academic position) in the last three months - and they told me they're looking for someone more "mid-career". good luck with that when you're paying 60k
oh, and for those saying the lack of experience is the issue - i have several years of industry experience under my belt, including multiple years of part-time consulting while in graduate school.

50% of graduates are either unemployed or underpaid.
Going to college for the paper is not the important part, networking is.
I do believe, however, that you should continue education for the love of learning more rather than feeling obligated to obtain a degree.--512 Austin TX crew---
