[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line: We suck.[/quote] The bottom line is that 99% of universities suck at placing PhDs into academic jobs. [b]If you aren't studying at somewhere like Harvard [/b]or unless you have very interesting research that has resonated enough to get you funding, you aren't getting a tenure track job. [/quote] I have at two friends with PhD's from Harvard who are quite underemployed in their respective fields, Art History and Psychology.[/quote] I have a friend with an Art History PhD from a similarly regarded university who teaches at a high school. [/quote] Having a prestigious name on your PhD doesn't get you a job, but not having one almost guarantees you won't get one [/quote]
