 Re: Sad employment figure for PHDs

I think I didn't make myself clear:

Just because we try to graduate everyone and their cousin will not create one single additional job for these graduates. It's a marketplace, with supply and demand. Currently demand seems to be low, and providing more supply won't magically increase the demand.

On the other hand, I frankly admit, we cannot just create graduates out of thin air should the demand suddenly increase.

The art consists in having just a fractionally higher supply of graduates than there is demand for, at any given time. Increasing the supply way over what is demanded will just be a waste of money and time.

And a pig's demand for graduated farmers is rather unelastic, ie it couldn't care less about the farmer's schooling as long as enough food is delivered in time. A diploma on the barn wall won't add value to the pig's everyday life.

A person with a diploma may be a better person in your view, but is that person necessarily a happier person?
