Community college? Come on, be serious. I mean jobs in which people can have an actual academic career, i.e. be published and have an impact on their discipline

- hkthrowaway88 5y agoHow many at each? Edit: To be perfectly clear, I mean no disrespect to anyone who teaches at a community college. It is valuable and important work. But I think it’s fair to say that people going into a Phd program, and dedicating 6-10 years of their life to working themselves ragged as the OP describes, are not doing so with the hope that they may one day teach at a community college. So, holding that up and saying “See, they had a perfectly fine outcome from getting a PhD, they got to teach at a community college!” is just disingenuous.
