[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plenty of folks get PhDs, choose not to pursue academia, and will often find many opportunities to make quite a bit of money in the private sector.[/quote] True for some fields, for others, it is usually considered a disappointment or settling not to get an academic job, as that is what you are trained for in grad school. Few literature PhDs begin and end their programs with their hearts set on teaching at Sidwell. Coming from some programs, it is bad enough to have to teach at a SLAC. I am disappointed at having to teach at a middling research university. And so forth. [/quote]
