The US graduates too many PHDs, not too few

[osnium123]

It’s better to graduate too many than too few because it helps ensure that the US workforce of scientists and engineers is cost competitive.

[cudgy]

Yeah, we gotta make sure that the Pharmaceutical companies have a great source of cheap PhD labor. /s

I wonder how all the PhD’s that spent 10 years of their life and can’t find a job feel about that?

[Unearned5161]

do you care to elaborate? what is too many and what are the repercussions of this?

[hollerith]

One of the repercussions is that young people get a PhD, then cannot get an appropriate job.

Also, the taxpayers are paying most of the cost of these PhDs.

Too many PhDs... in biochemistry...?
