<p>Does anyone know what the PhD job market would be like overseas (mainly UK) & Canada? Are any countries (developed countries of course) short on PhDs or are they at least not as over saturated as they are in the US?</p>
<p>I’ve heard it is as bad or worse in the UK.</p>
<p>How about other countries? I’ve heard Australia wasn’t as bad but idk…</p>
<p>The only areas that are likely to be wanting PhD’s are India and China. I wouldn’t want to compete with them to find out how low of a standard of living I could tolerate.</p>
<p>Largely depends on the field. Even in the US, there are still fields where PhDs are needed (even in <em>gasp</em> academia). However, the number of fields where that is the case are quite few.</p>
<p>Demand for PhDs seems to be pretty steady from Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and a few other developed economies. If you’re willing to move to Latin or South America, you could probably find a decent job (but at reduced standard of living) in most fields.</p>
