Perhaps you are from a top institution, so, naturally, you'll get a lot of high-quality applications; which in turn influences your perspective. But in the grand scheme of things, the total number of PhD students must be very limited. There's certainly more demand than supply for such training.
If there's an over supply of overqualified postdocs, maybe they could help train new PhDs?
- jonathanstrange 4y ago> If there's an over supply of overqualified postdocs, maybe they could help train new PhDs? Why? That would merely increase the number of unemployed postdocs. There are already too many people with a PhD, not too few.
- neodypsis 4y agoNot necessarily. Not all PhD holders want to become postdocs. Why restrict supply artificially?
