This is a great thread. I'm in the middle of a PhD right now, and am
looking forward to a postdoc. It is basically a question of supply and
demand. There are tons of PhDs, few positions to put them into so the
degree is only worth its rarity. And, in this case the rarity is
nonexistant.
Unfortunately we are in a similar position to waitresses and cashiers.
There are more than enough of us to fill the need.
