I think a lot of PhDs would jump at the chance for a non-academic job.
Call me cynical, but this article looks like more edu-propaganda from the higher education cartel. Why? It deliberately conflates technical and non-technical PhDs. Yes, there may well be a good many non-academic jobs for tech phds, although not as many as this article seems to airily assume.
As for any sort of job for non-tech phds, well, those are hard to come by....
This article makes unstated assumptions that all PhDs can just up and get a non-academic job, should that professorship job somehow not come through.
The higher education industry is evil and has deep, deep pockets. They buy media propaganda like you and I buy potato chips at the convenience store.
I wonder whether this article is bought and paid for propaganda.
