10,000 PhD Project

The University of Toronto just released a huge study of the job outcomes of recent graduates, the 10,000 PhDs Project. It is really eye opening. I wish that I had seen this data when I was in the dregs of grad school job despair. It is really remarkable that 30% of people wind up in tenure stream appointments. Those are incredibly good odds. If I had had to guess, I would have estimated it at less than 10%.
