A shortage of smart, ambitious PhDs seeking policy positions is, fortunately, not a problem our society has. Quite the contrary.
- bilbo0s 9y agoBut a shortage of ACCOMPLISHED PhD's seeking policy positions, IS, unfortunately, a problem our society has. You're dealing with a situation where the PhD, in and of itself, is not really much of an accomplishment.
- eli_gottlieb 9y agoI think it's kinda bullshit to claim that most PhDs are bullshit.
- bilbo0s 9y agoNot what I said. What I said was that when one is in the situation of selecting a professor to be hired at an Ivy, the PhD in and of itself, is not really an accomplishment. It's more akin to an "entrance fee".
