What makes you think that more than 10% of PhD students even desire professor positions?
- ketzo 6y agoNot GP, but everything I've heard of PhD programs is that you're basically destined for academia. From my (admittedly ignorant!) perspective, it seems like only 10% of PhD students don't desire professorships. But that said, am I totally in the wrong on that?
- asdff 6y agoIn the life sciences from the people I know in the field, probably 20% of PhDs are considering academic positions. You can do a lot in the private sector with a PhD even well outside of your field, especially if you manage to pick up some data science skills along the way.
