The more reason I decided to do a DBA instead of PhD... Thanks

All of this is true and I am a tenured professor in academics. Most academics have NO idea how to help students get an industry job. I certainly did not when my first PhD student went to industry. However, I wanted to learn and, therefore, I talked to him about what helped. Now I teach PhD students (and undergraduates) about the differences between vitas and resumes. I talk to first year PhD students about making decisions whether they want academics or industry and changing their approach to their PhD based on their future goals (i.e., papers in prestigious journals for an academic career vs becoming masters of many techniques for an industrial career). However, I do think about leaving after 22 years because it is HARD in academics.

This was a huge help

Dumb guy telling smart guys what to do.

So good

what is a pi 😮

Come to San Diego state !!!!!

Much more then 27 million.. They Block on All Vermont Unemployment Insurance claims since March 2024. The Department of Labor is causing unnecessary human suffering on Vermont's poorest families..Many are on the streets with children because of the No Vermont Unemployment payments allowed for the laid off since March 2024 policy. Many are Vermont Voters, the Labor Department is using there power to prevent Vermont s Laid off from payments .. How is that not a form of Voter Suppression? Thousands of Families getting laid off only to be put into a Appeal process for 18 months.. by Vermont Department of Labor. When upu loose your job , it takes time to find something new. I was at my job over 11 years.. Done just like that.. no reason. been trying to gtt a Unemployment Check so I keep going while I get something else.. You know , my ex company paid Vermont both Unemployment Insurance Taxes so this benefit could be offered to its laid off employees. Vermont Department of Labor Unemployment Insurance benefit psid for but denied to laid off Vermont residents.. Any suggestions? I plan to write every American Investigator I can find to help the Laid off Voters of Vermont get help.. The devastation from what DOL has caused is unimaginable..

So this is how they are destroying academia, the most important societal sector for knowledge acquisition and, therefore, for the improvement of our lives. The video it's great. This needs to be talked. But the "solution" is just... sad as fuck. Of course, it makes sense to leave academia when at an individual level you're suffering. This is a very individually oriented content and approach. And, of course, it's correct. The thing is that good academics leaving academia comes for a price, a huge one, for society. They might live better and calmer lives, but that's just destroying academia. And trust me, we need academia for what's coming - quite a multifactorial crisis within the next decades; of course this is about climate change, but about many other things as well... a truly grim outlook -. So, this way, the socioeconomical system is pushing good academics out of academia. That can't be a real solution. Yes, it's perfectly understandable to leave it... but heck... us, academics, who understand the huge importance of academia and knowledge in general, should aim higher. I know it's incredibly hard... but we should be doing something for this to improve. We just can't let academia die, or we, as a society, will die as well. Even if that wasn't the case, it for sure is a huge freaking waste. We should be doing something about it...

Why are 2+ year postdocs going to industry? Clearly academic path.

Where do you apply the reaserch scientist in the agriculture job

Wow clever!

moving towards a 1 page resume? I was told to have a 1 page resume as soon as I applied for my very first job over 15 years ago

Reached CheekyScientist for information and I was ghosted. I do not recommend.

What is materials science and engineering PhD prospect like?

You cannot say Postdoctoral is a waste of time. For everything there is valuable it give transferable knowledge and help one to learn new skills before entering into good university as faculty position

Good People in the comment section.. I'm an assistant professor in a devolping country with a PhD offer from a London University for part time PhD. Do you think it's worth it? I have software industry experience and masters from a top 50 school in CSE. I got into this job as I'm passionate about teaching. But I feel academia stopped bothering about education long ago. Now it's a publication arms race. I'm a student's favourite. But nothing else going for me.. I'm contemplating a return to Software Industry.

It’s wild how much we internalize that low value - even within academia. I have 10+ years of relevant experience and still felt unworthy at my first tenure track job interview. Their salary offer was correspondingly low. After researching negotiation strategies, and connecting with the faculty association, I’ve come to see that my value is a lot higher, and fortunately the collective agreement supports that. Fingers crossed that my negotiation letter will move the needle on a higher salary and credit for prior work.

I think they just filer out overseas candidates. I believe any job ad gets at least 1000 resumes from one particular country.

Nah I'm just in a few recruiters systems from years back so they compete to be the one to get me a job.

I had a professor who was an impressively large jerk. When a retired professor died, he couldn’t help but volley faint praise at himself in his contribution to the deceased’s “in memoriam” webpage. Dude spent a career in academia, and never had anyone call him out.

Great now fire all the HR people

These are more like general questions.

But who do you pitch yourself to when no one's listening?

I am being sifted out of every role i apply for that 2 years ago I was being considered.

I just entered, and I am already thinking about leaving. I am here because I really want to help students, but the school just want to have me do administrative jobs than have me teach.😢

Your best bet is the temp service even though you will have to wait at least 3 weeks or two months to her from them

I have nieces and nephews that have graduated high school a couple years ago and some graduating in 2025. They have the issue of choosing a career to work towards that AI won't make irrelevant in the next decade.

I see this all the time.

An engineer without ANY medical background getting a job in pharma is like me without ANY engineering degree and explaining how a combustion engine works in my own words. That doesnt mean I am qualified to be an engineer.

So what 2 do

I could listen to the woman all day. Her upbeat energy is endearing.

Was in a basic science PhD program in the 1980s (yup, I'm old). Quickly found out I preferred learning about science as opposed to doing science research. Got a MS and left after 2 years for med school. Great decision for me. Grad school in science/engineering not a bad place to park yourself for a few years after college if you don't know what to do with your life, but it can be a toxic situation. Sayre's Law: "In academia, the battles are so vicious because the stakes are so small." 😂

Biggg ahhh head

Amazing.

Wow! Thank you so much for this !

These "scientists" are soooo useless, I am just mad at how gvnt dumps down the drain tax payers' money on useless PhD students and useless professors to produce useless papers.

This just happened to me

What is a "PI?"

You also have to be contributing enough to be IN that positive social circle and not believe that being in that circle will fix all of the problems you have

Academia is for those who always want to remain poor, middle class, don't care about career growth, willing to work like masons, and still willing to write bullshit , asshole useless projects which dont add values to anybody life.

Cheeky monkey.

From a PhD to ASML just by watching your free courses. Thanks!

None of that matters if the company never gives you benefits or want to pay a piving wage or will actively low-ball pay offers for skilled positions

The even sadder thing is that even after tenure is awarded, even after a full professorship is attained, university administration can make your life miserable, as I can attest. As far as I can see, there is no control over university administration. Litigation is not the answer, because that can blackball you. The only solution is to walk completely or to start a second career while employed as a professor so that salary no longer matters.

I definitely faced a lot of abuse by people I worked with in academia. The people attracted to this industry are high in narcissistic traits.
