For a lowly tech job. What is this world coming to

What's the PhD in?

 

[twizzlers713]

Psychology. Lol

That explains it.....

There was a great story on NPR about all the unemployed PhD s who have degrees in social sciences and liberal arts. It was quite depressing, actually.

Unless you're going into clinical psychology in order to become a licensed psychologist, your options are quite slim. There are lots of counselors out there anyway willing to see patients for much, much less. Too many counselors too.

Simply too many "educated" people and not enough jobs. The millennial generation was lied to 😛

That explains it.....

licensed *clinical* psychologists, especially ones who trained at ivy league schools and did apa internships and fellowships(as most ivy clinical psychologists do) do very well.....they can generally do better than $100/hr collected *after* overhead/expenses. I doubt this person was a clinical psychologist. If so, there are some serious issues with them if that was the case.

There is simply not enough jobs for everyone. Companies are making record profits but at the same time cutting back on benefits and salary. This eventually affects every industrial.

We've gotten PhD candidates looking for tech jobs, usually a career transition to pharmacy involved... about 3/4 are international, the others are domestic.

I doubt they were too. But, you never know. The job market is pretty bad all around. You've got college grads working at starbucks or living at home with their parents.

Too many people in college who shouldn't be and/or who are sold a pipe dream that college gets you a better job. It does in some cases but that is on the decline I think, depending on the degree.

There isn't enough emphasis on skilled workers.

I'd have a field day. "Hiya, I'm your new supervisor. I figure I'll tell about myself...welp, I started muh edjeecation at West Virginia University at Parkersburg..."

Then they die. Hire new technician.

Put some emphasis on the hiya and make it a karate chop
