@bgcarlisle I think I heard ten years ago that there are more PhDs granted each year than there are stable academic jobs opening up. Don`t graduate students begin their studies knowing that it's quite likely they'll never become professors?

I feel sorry for someone who works hard but doesn't achieve her dream job; but on the other hand these are very smart people who should have realistic ambitions, and who are capable of working at non-academic careers.
