80% of American PhD holders are doing work that are unrelated to their PHD scope.

I think this sentence needs more consideration compared to the job prospects. obviously high qualification = high job prospects.
But is it related?

It's not really related but it's still jobs. But then I came across tons of articles saying employers are scared of PhD holders, thus thinking of not hiring them... sweat.gif

Yup, overqualification exists. Someone too smart may end up prying the company from the superior's hand, misconception since half of them are really just nerds.
