[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally think a Ph.D in most humanities disciplines is worse than useless since the prospects of employment afterwards are so grim these days and the opportunity cost of spending some of the most productive years of one's working life in school is extremely high. So generally, I do raise an eyebrow when I hear of someone going into such a program now.... makes me think they are not very bright and/or have a really awful reckoning to face in 6 to 9 years. Or that they are independently wealthy (in which case, I can think of much better things to do with the best years of my life than being in grad school). I do know some people in academia who look down on people in professional fields -- i.e. biglaw, consultants, business, etc. I guess it often runs both ways though so whatever, right? [/quote] Where were you when I was deciding to go to grad school? This is the truth. [/quote]
