It’s also because higher degrees have become so devalued…

Masters is the new Bachelors. PhD is the new Masters. And yet the number of actually useful things one can do a PhD in has remained largely the same. Hence the utter devaluation of the qualification…

I went to a PhD information session where I was essentially told that if you wanted funding, and to “do well”, you would pick from this list of topics your (woke) faculty had pre-ordained, and take whatever supervisor they recommended you…

Higher level academia was never meant to work like that. That’s a recipe for disaster…

But, gotta keep churning out those grads, I guess!

It was… Disappointing, to say the least.

I hate to think how bad it must be in the Humanities, now…
