"I got a PHD from Berkeley and I can’t get a job to save my life."
« on: August 21, 2025, 09:32:18 am »
So this gal got a Ph.D. from Berkeley in Soil Biology (which I think is a legitimate scientific field in Agriculture and even perhaps Civil Engineering) BUT she claims that she can find a job in it.  Come to find out, what she really wants is a nice, cushy, tenured professorship in some "top tier" university, and not at some "random place" as a working field scientist.

Just can't feel sorry for her...

It doesn't help that she looks like she'll be a Problem Employee.

Like, how many times can she say "Like".   She has a 90's Valley Girl vibe going on but without the good looks to support it.

Maybe she should take her Mom to the interviews!

I would love to have been able to dip those nasty pigtails into an ink well....or maybe a Wendy's Frosty since ink wells are so 1800's

Looks like a typical Berkeley troublemaker, filled with entitlement to disrupt and to be disruptive - 'not a team player' and 'does not see the need to play well with others'.

"Soil biology" ??

Truer words have never been typed.

I might not pay as much attention to her looks as I would to her words.

Proof that there comes a point where too much education actually hinders your prospects in the job markets.

Soil biology being an applied field, there are jobs both in academe and in industry.  I wonder whether her problem is that she is trying to find a job in California, rather than doing a global job search (and I mean global).  Generally there is a single job market in any science, and it's world-wide.

If it's not that, her dissertation must have been really underwhelming.

Like, maybe, like, she radiates like entitlement - and no one wants to employ her.

So now she’s drowning in student loan debt

Perhaps more research into this field before choosing it might have helped

In science fields that require study of specific areas or samples, often the employee goes where the work is.
You can't take soil samples from your laptop in your PJs.

Willingness to relocate and/or spend time in the field is often required.

I suspect the larger issue is she thinks she entitled by her "PHD" to skip the actual experience part. There's no substitute for doing.

You would think she at least got a taste of that on the way to her doctorate.

I think she should go back to college and get another advanced degree.  Being a professional student is a great career move.
