you be surprised, but some are cognizant enough to get a job somewhere(i think mostly for the people who was phd for like 10+years without a tenure positon), but alot of them are hoping for FACULTY positions in the future, which is pretty much very competitive, and unrealistic.

I have never met a PhD student who didn’t realise this before starting. You’d think someone who qualifies for grad school has better critical reasoning skills than this.

Like I tell everyone, PhD doesn’t mean you are smart, it just means you can take more abuse and humiliation than most. This is the thorny path to become an expert.

Also intelligence isn’t some all-e compassing thing. Just because you are a good learner or have superb spatial thinking or whatever else doesn’t mean you are good at planning for shit.
The classic view of intelligence completely misses how different people are, and how many different things intelligence could actually mean.
