These career traps transcend professions and you don't have to be a PhD scientist to face these same career traps, but these traps are especially sinister for those whose expertise is so specialized that they often specialize themselves into a corner. PhD scientists who want to leave the bench then find themselves frequently frustrated by roadblocks and barriers.

  • A Ph.D. in any natural science can hardly land you a decent job these days. An academic postdoc makes around $25/hr (*if* you don't considering the possibility of unreasonable overtime...), whereas a plumber makes about $80-90/hr. Go figure.

  • best way to deal with these peoblems is to NEVER PURSUE A PHD EVER

  • i like it!

  • Yay! I needed that thanks!
