You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Most fields graduate a sufficiently high number of PhDs that not all, or perhaps not even the majority, will end up gainfully employed at six figure wages. This has been the case for decades. Postdocs have been paid low wages for lots of well known positions forever.

That’s not the system breaking down, that’s how things have worked for like 30+ years. Literally nothing new here.

I was tempted to go after VC funding with some random AI startup side gig last year because I'm convinced that any sufficiently good CV with a slick enough powerpoint deck was just getting tens of millions thrown at it in 2023
