It being the season, the 'I got into XYZ PhD Program!' tweets kind of break my heart. I don't rain on any parades - if you are celebrating, celebrate. You earned it! But there's sorrow b/c unless things change, there won't be any more jobs in 5-7 years than there are now...

And I suppose, for all of the advisors out there: understand that this ought to be your student's mentality too. I have heard all of those "my letter can't get you a job" speeches. Great; give them on orientation day. Tell your grad students to relax and relax yourself.

From an outsider, a resounding amen. Would you liken the current situation akin to high school and/or college athletes expecting they will make it in the pros or go to the Olympics?

Yes but more importantly all interested in education need to produce a political solution.More unis, profs, etc is possible.Unfortunately our academic ancestors didn’t do that & look where we are.Let’s not be them so that others & more can have this career.Similar to 60s Germany

I don't know the situations in other countries. In the USA at least, I don't see much opportunity to expand higher education without a lot of international students (which I am not against!), simply because student cohorts are getting smaller due to fewer 18-22-year-olds.
