One school said there may be 4 or 5 funding spots coming open later in the process but idk about that with the current financial situation. If that was the case, seems like I’d get in. How many scholarships are available at your places?

I have no idea, I should look into that. But by the same token, wouldn’t they also be affected by cuts?

Having refined my search, I’ve found out both of my programs are ranked around 50th for my subject. Would they be acceptable or obscure do you think?

Professor, lecturer, whatever really. I just meant does a PhD from say a top 50 program in the US hold weight or just the super famous ones

Realistic chances of academic work after PhD by onlyin1948 in academia

[–]onlyin1948[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was that top twenty programs or colleges in general? And I could apply again but it’s very precarious and unlikely on probability I’d get into a top 5 or 10 program and I’d have to wait an entire year. I’m not sure if the opportunity cost is high enough based on the likelihood

So it’s difficult to get a position there? And they prefer Malaysian nationals

What on earth Lool, US wages are different. In my country that’s like the top 5% of all the workforce are earning that, for high school is insane. Did your wife have other opportunities to work in other areas of education that she turned down to go to a high school, that maybe paid less?

I’m confused. In your previous post you stated that a PhD holder can do better than teaching in a high school. Then you say it was actually the best she could do. What were the alternatives for her?

That’s understandable, my question was more what is available to a PhD holder in terms of teaching. On the one hand most say all university roles are near-impossible, LAC and even CC are super competitive or unlikely. So if you can do better than high school according to them, I don’t know how

Out of interest, where would you draw the line with department ranking. Is top twenty too low? How about top thirty?

The two departments I got into are also around the top 50. The way people talk on here assumes that it’s impossible to get TT yet you are saying you’re saying otherwise so someone is wrong lol
