More education != More value.
We currently have 3 PhD's that were hired in our department. No actual experience in the job/field, yet they were hired on based solely on their degree. They are doing work than an entry-level employee would be doing. What is the value for their overpaid salary? Their actual job performance? Or the piece of paper that says they went to school for X number of years?
You can have those overlooked PhD's. They are overlooked for a reason.
- tostitos1979 13y agoYou realize every PhD isn't the same? People with PhDs in systems are good at building shit. They might very well suck being data scientists. Similarly, someone with a Machine Learning PhD might suck at fault-tolerant middleware. P.S. The anti-PhD meme on HN really needs to stop.
