On: Graduate students question career options

[jseliger]

I have been reading essays about the pitfalls of academia for decades (sample: https://philip.greenspun.com/careers/women-in-science; I wrote my own "humanities PhDs are bad" one: https://jakeseliger.com/2012/05/22/what-you-should-know-befo..., which I still get emails about). The main thing of note about the one above is the venue.

Angry emails? The observation seems exceedingly obvious. Either you limit yourself to a very narrow career path or you dont use it.

Sure, it might make sense for a few. A very select few.
