User blog comment:Pvg3/Am I the only spouse who is about to have a breakdown if her husband doesn't get a job?/@comment-96.235.185.139-20100202161503

Here, let me pass along an article that we read about four years ago when my wife was finishing up her Ph.D. at a top ivy-league university...

Google this - "Wanted: Really Smart Suckers"

And she is still looking for something decent and permanent, despite a book and top recos. It's discouraging for both of us.

I have nothing to do with academia (fortunately) but in my opinion the system is broken and economically non-viable... The only ones making out are the schools who are happy to charge ever-higher tuitions while teaching their students with ever-increasing numbers of adjuncts and grad students paid pittances.
