There is no way that it can happen to you.
D'ailleurs ç'est toujours les autres qui meurent.

Don't expect optimistic or uplifting words.

6 papers after a phd and 3 postdocs? This guy must work on string field theory....

Finding jobs outside academia like what? Bus driver? Sure. But any kind of intellectual job, zero chance.
PhD even deters potential employers, in any field.
You have to hide your PhD to get a job.
And it’s painful!

[Josh McCabe @JoshuaTMcCabe]

The bleak employment picture for PhDs isn't "especially for academic jobs", it's *only for academic jobs*.

Finding a job with a PhD outside of academia is quite easy.

Stay away!

[Mushtaq Bilal, PhD @MushtaqBilalPhD]

This is very dishonest and harmful advice for yound people. Don't do this. Stay away from a humanities PhD.

It's extremely irresponsible of The Chronicle to even publish an article like this.

The writer of this artilce, Ada Palmer, is a tenured professor at the University of Chicago and is telling folks to do a PhD in history.

You'll have to live below the poverty line for 5-7 years in order to become a jobless PhD.

You can become jobless without wasting 5-7 years.

If you're interested in writing and research, acquire useful skills like writing for SEO and social media or marketing or programing.

Acquire skills that you can learn in 6-12 months and are immediately monetizable.

Consider doing a PhD in history only if your grandfather left you a trust fund.

“the PhD system is an abomination. the student is condemned to work on a single problem for 2-3 years. i think it’s an evil system and has ruined many lives.”

Prof Freeman Dyson couldn’t be more right. now the gap between academia and industry is wider than ever before with AI.

Dr Ally Louks is in the building.

Cambridge PhD student Dr @DrAllyLouks from @Peterhouse_Cam went viral last year when she posted a photo of her thesis on the politics of smell in modern and contemporary prose.

Here's her story about what happened next 👇
