What can we learn from these statistics? Whether the actual ratio of Phds PhDs  who become professor professors  is 24\%, 12.8\% or 0.45\%, the bottom line isthat  100\% is unattainable, even though the desires of most(if not all)  graduate students is indeed to stay in academia. Very simply, the world is producing too many PhDs \cite{Cyranoski_2011} for too few academic positions positions,  and this unbalance has created the postdoc pile-up that we are experiencing \cite{Powell_2015}. My reflections on this matter are based on statistical evidence from recent surveys surveys,  but also on my personal experience experiences  and those of people I know. There are success stories and horror stories, for sure. My intent is not to be overly pessimistic, but realistic. Obviously, some Ph.D. PhD  students are nearly forced to hope for an academic path as their only viable path. I am thinking of my good friends with Ph.D.s PhDs  in Comparative Literature, English Literature, Philosophy. These subjects are naturally harder to apply outside of the Academe. But not impossible. Consider, for example, what wonders the Digital Humanities are working. Projects like \href{https://books.google.com/ngrams}{the N-gram viewer} or \href{http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/~g.legrady/academic/courses/09w259/Moretti_graphs.pdf}{Franco Moretti's Graphs, Maps, Trees} were only possible because humanists were able to employ quantitative techniques. Final word. Dear Ph.D. PhD  student, I hope that this blog post will not discourage you to carry on with your amazing doctoral research. Keep going! My Ph.D. PhD  years were the most formative of my life. But do play with the idea that you may end up somewhere else. And in preparation for that possibility, think of ways to re-purpose your work and "remarket" yourself early on. You will not regret it.
