Academics should be doing advising.

  Maybe I don't know what you mean - do you mean a career advisor? What do academics know about careers outside academia?

    I was in a similar situation as this other commenter. Undergrad for biology and grad school for biology. Guess who gave me better career advice, the guy in the field for 3 decades, or the 26 year old with a online degree in human resources from directional state?

      But you're varying two things at the same time there. Age and role. You could equally say who gives better career advice - a 26 year old academic who knows nothing but their PhD, or someone who has been guiding people into careers successfully for 3 decades. Might be best to control for the age I think.
