PhD? Think twice before you make your decision


The current issue of the Chronicle of higher education has a very informative articles, titled, "Ph.D.'s Spend Big Bucks Hunting for Academic Jobs, With No Guaranteed Results" written by Stacy Patton.

In my opinion, it does not matter how well-educated you are or whether you are an experienced/inexperienced professional in the field. The bottom line of landing a job indeed depends on who you are, who you know and what are your valuable connections with "others". In other words, you need to "know" somebody to get a job.
