The Shrinking PH. D job influence (Article)

[EndDomination]

I don't understand how you know that

But aside from that, a culture and notions aren't spread by a single article, but either you are contributing to an existing anti academic culture or you are helping to reduce it

Overall the problem is the absurdity and disconnect from reality for one of the least educated demographic groups to be making this a topic, black people need more Ph.Ds as a matter of self preservation, it's way deeper than getting a job

We need more of an education spread in general.
More Black women in STEM, more Black men in everything in general, more Black doctors, more Black JDs attending top institutions, more Black PhDs in general subjects, more Black economists, etc.
I understand what you're saying, and I agree. I just want to ensure that we look at this objectively, it isn't as bright as we make it out to be, we need to push our youth forward with full-knowledge of their decisions.
Its like listening to the Black English, History, and Poli Sci majors complain about there not being any jobs when they graduate.
They assumed a "degree" was all they needed, not a high GPA, not internships, not major networking connections, not a niche, just a degree.

There are quite a few of you (mass media rep. and critical race study MAs/PhDs at Columbia, Princeton and NYU.
I assume you're going into academia?
After spending some time with bell hooks and Nicholas Mirzeoff, I worry that there is a limit to how deep the studies can go. Diaspora studies are incredibly underwhelming, just because so much of the foundational bodies of work are so weak.
I'd love to read some of your writings in the area, though.

Well, my response includes personal info so, PM me.

Another dumb thread trying to discourage black people, the least educated demographic group, and in turn least amount of PhDs, from pursuing Ph.Ds

I've heard it said that blacks are overcencentrated in education ph.d programs.
