Wait a minute, that's the bearded guy giving like the GREATEST advices about everything important about PhD??? WOW, been watching him for quite some time, haven't notice him without the beard

KZbin algorithm brought u here

[@hindatigges5863]

This is the first time I ever leave a comment on KZbin. Brilliant! I wish others would speak about these issues. There is certainly more to say but you have dared to disturb the sleeping ogre!

[@guybeauregard]

I was one of those ECRs with multiple postdocs who also ended up leaving the country in which I was trained, in my case Canada--I was simply unable to find a secure academic position there. The casualization of research and teaching labour in the university system is one of the scandals of my lifetime.

I am happy that i watched this video before sending my papers for PhD, I havent changed my mind though, but i have improved my view on it all. I am only doing this to enhance my skills while employed to this organization.

[@DrJillianRigert]

Oh gosh... I wish I would have listened to this sooner. Thank you for your openness and also your KZbin channel that I just found!

[@thomasbarnes5703]

I agree, Andy, Ph.D. and post-doc research should be more esteemed within the society of the United States and should be compensated accordingly! I enjoy your channel very much...Tom

[@takudzwamanzungu1826]

This guy has a youtube channel! go check it!

[@naveenkumarkewalramani]

Should I do a PhD to start a startup in the USA?

[@anacamargo5178]

I am doing a PhD because I always wanted to do it and also because as a full time employee I can take 12 credits a year while working. Otherwise I would not do it.

[@enricobrik3074]

This is an important supply-side point. But Andrew and others need also to look at the demand side and the now massive market oversupply of PhDs. The probability of securing a long term position is not just a function of the reduction in those numbers but the huge growth in candidates for the shrinking number of Academic jobs. Candidates need to very seriously examine if $30k pa tax free for three years is worth the investment of their time and energy in a v narrow and specialised band of knowledge. I’ve worked with many PhDs in my long career and most add little intellectual value over a good Hons degree and/or a Masters by Research.

[@alboz1327]

At this very moment I am contemplating the possibility of starting a PhD; however, before that, I have thought deeply about why I want this, and the answer to this question is that based on what I could find online, people without PhD and just Masters rarely seem to get a good positions in R&Ds departments at companies. For people wanting to do research in life, that being academic or industrial, you MUST have a PhD

[@enricobrik3074]

@@alboz1327 my point is most PhDs don’t end up in research, and the more that do them the higher the average probability they won’t.

[@debasisrath6466]

Excellent talk...

[@smrj1729]

I am only here to watch Andy without his beard!

[@dn-anonymous]

yeah 😆😆 how does he not get how much better it looks shaved (with designer stubble)??

[@monas3274]

Great It was

[@Voltanaut]

Yoda you are

[@catalinavallejor]

I can't believe how much a beard changes people's faces lol

[@adamkidd0712]

So ask more people what job expectations a PhD will get, specially those with successful experience in the job market.
