    I do not see the point of gettng a PhD unless you want to teach/research in academia. The actual topic that I did in grad school and post-doc has NOTHING to do with what I did in my many various jobs. But I will point out that Prof, Lipomi did not list "working in the lab" as part of his job...thus, academia DEPENDS on creating and maintaining a large pool of prople doing work that will rarely teach them any skills/knowledge that are useful anywhere else. Ultimately, there are a lot of people out there that are not benefiting themselves or society by having a Ph.D. and post-doc. My impresion (especially in the physical sciences) is that very little of the training done in graduate school transfers to any other research group much less profit making company. The PhD program does not even prepare students for academia.....grad students are not taught how to write grants, get patents, deal with environmental laws, communicate, teach, or the general history of their profession or the structure of the industry they are going into. In the mid-1900s, I believe the opinion was that most people would have an option of going into academia....the people who led me though my academic experience benefited from the demographic, economics and politics that existed in the US between 1945 and 1975....that does not exist now and has not existed for 50 years. We need to get professors off of committee and into the laboratory. Motivated undergraduates can be used for many of the tasks now done by graduate students.

      Well, I would say the current situation is a result of several problematic developments under capitalism: private universities, academic journals making profit off of unpaid professional labor, and most of all underfunding (creating the absurd situation that you have to work in order to be able to work)

      @@sirmclovin9184 Not sure I follow. If you figure a professors career of 40 years and producing a PhD every 2 years...modest expectation...the basic probability of getting a similar position is 1 in 20 unless the science base is growing. Let's say it doubles in 40 years...then you odds are 1 in 10.. But in recent years, in the USA there have been an influx of H1B visas, and to correct historical discrimination you probability of getting an academic position has varied depending upon your sex and race. The skills developed in grad school are very likely to become obsolete within a few years (when I was a student, we spent a lot of time tuning NMRs and trying to attach fragile capillary columns to GCs). Overall, unless you desperately want to attempt to gain academic status, you are wasting your time in grad school except for the fact that getting that degree will help you credibility down the line while you are doing something totally unrelated to your degree. As far as the idea that getting the degree teaches you "how to do research" I think a one semester classroom course could teach you more about the ethics, business, management, marketing, etc. of doing research. In generally, you need great communication skills. AND I am a great proponent for understanding the HISTORY of the field you are in. There are lots of research leads buried in abandoned projects.

    Research track professors spend 80% of time doing research and only 20% teaching. Academic title is given based on your research achievements.
