[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a list of all psych grad students at UMD: https://psyc.umd.edu/gradstudents Notice it's majority female by far, but also notice how many there are. Let's say they produce 10 PhDs a year.. is UMD creating 10 professor jobs, through attrition and expansion? Probably 2-3 at most.[/quote] How do you know these folks are looking to be professors? [/quote] Plus, many schools do not have PhD programs--so UMD is producing professors for those schools as well--every liberal arts college, every regional university. Psychology PhDs might also work in hospitals, businesses, school systems, government, ngos, research organizations, private practice (even if not clinical--e.g., educational psychology or developmental psychology). A lot of people study psychology because it's a broad field where you can specialize in a lot of different ways.[/quote]
