<p>I don’t understand why a PhD is constantly harassed like it is. PhDs have very low unemployment rates, regularly earn good salaries. Whether or not it is in your field is another subject of discussion. It’s not like you get a PhD and are thrown into a pile of uneducated homeless folk.</p>
<p>If you’re attributing high earnings to a PhD, you’re doing it wrong. Go be a petroleum engineer.</p>
