A surprising article from the Washington Post, at least for me: people with PhDs in science are struggling to get employment after getting their doctorate.
How much hype have we heard about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) in the last few years? Politicians and administrators alike have funded courses and buildings and encouraged students to pursue careers in these fields. Now it turns out that we have more scientists than jobs available.
I'm all for students pursuing their dreams, especially when it comes to (theoretically) high-paying, stable career fields. But what's not cool is when we over-emphasize these occupations at the expense of others. Those of us in business and marketing say hello!
