I feel sad that the CV of this obviously talented physicist shows that he has spent the last 8 years working in search engine optimization for e-commerce websites. I wonder if society would not have benefited more if someone without a physics PhD took his job and he took one involving physics.

From what I'm told by friends who are actually in academia, it's a pretty horrible environment because it's nearly impossible to get tenure any more and the competition is ridiculous, and then there's the whole "publish or perish" thing. The rewards just aren't worth it any more.
