Der Economist hatte Mitte Dezember einen Artikel: “Doctoral degrees – The disposable academic” Mit dem Untertitel “Why doing a PhD is often a wast of time”.
Academics tend to regard asking whether a PhD is worthwhile as analogous to wondering whether there is too much art or culture in the world. They believe that knowledge spills from universities into society, making it more productive and healthier. That may well be true; but doing a PhD may still be a bad choice for an individual.

I see in my children, like in my PhD students, the desire to develop a profession and make a living, but above all, I see the courage to do something about which they feel truly passionate.
Und? War oder ist die eigene Doktorarbeit verschwendete Zeit?
