  1. Once again, Vulture Capitalism with a different name. Can't imagine it has improved. The only thing that has changed is probably an increased level of stress in the hiring group, and the proportion of their grants outright CONFISCATED by the institution they work in, for the edification of 'upper management'. Relatives of mine have taken both tracks, postdoc and direct to industry as PhDs. The one who had to fund himself, mostly, is the one who went to industry from a school the Ivy League used to ask to join them, and the one with large parental subsidies went postdoc at Ivy League. The differences in their earnings are concrete, and their job satisfaction and stress are stark. Also, interesting that your experience shows why States of Stupid STAY States of Stupid, cuz politics of the Great Unwashed and the Vulture Capitalist Wannabe Politicians. Funny how there used to be secretaries and file clerks that kept the 'talent' at my workplace doing 'talent stuff'. But now, cuz computers, all that support is GONE and admin tasks take up much of my time, from work control to procedure writing. That's ALSO Vulture Capitalism under disguise.

  2. College students of an emotionally balanced kind have always been interested in learning about Life on their own, not just being trained to jump through hoops somebody else profits from. Maybe you have forgotten it, but college is the first time a lot of people have been on their own doing things OTHER THAN obsessing over 'just the fact, Ma'am ..." If you are in 'management' now, you will always be a failure because you can't lead and motivate peole, and if you are not, you are not someone I'd employ because you obviously CAN'T lead and motivate a cannonball to fall from the top of the tower, and you refuse to LEARN how and why.
