Ok, the stuff in that article is starting to really freak me out…

I know there's a bunch of applicants per each position I'd be looking at, but if I still end up unemployed, is there a point of getting a doctorate besides delaying the inevitable?

And for some reason I still want to…

But where am I going to work in three years?
If you want to and can afford it, go ahead.

But if you want a job, it might be better to look for one now, during the recovery, than in three years, during the next recession.

I found that a PhD is no preparation for the world of work. I got very "academic" and wasn't used to doing what I was told!
