"Here are my few observations: Break down by STEM: CS,EE,Chem Engg, Mechanical Engg PhD's are much more in demand than Marine Biology PhD's. Thus when Eric Schmidt talks about lack of students it about these fields."
Well, duh. The blindingly obvious thing that you missed is that there's life outside of Google.
"I can assure you that if you are from a top 30-40 university and have PhD in CS,EE,Chem Eng. or other hard core engineering you are near guaranteed a good job (unless you have messed up royally)"
Reality says otherwise.
"If you are not and study marine bio (It sounds cool subject) sadly your job prospects are restricted to Academia!"
I guess you've never heard of NOAA, Woods Hole, among others, then.
