there is both an industry shortage Including former cow-orkers I probably know a couple of hundred PhDs. Of those, a mere handful work in academia doing research. Even fewer are tenure-track. Of the remainder, how many do you think slogged through the programme in say physics or biology with the intent of becoming a software developer after? I absolutely believe in equal opportunities but a false promise of a good job due to a shortage is not a fair way to promote it.
