Isn't the situation actually worse for PhDs in science? I.e. not only can't you get a job in the USA because of foreign competition, you can't get a job overseas either (because the grad students can just go home)?
- dinkumthinkum 17y agoWell, in Computer Science, I'm not seeing that at all really. I see graduate students finishing their PhDs and getting good jobs and the departments I'm familiar with have been hiring. Though, many universities are experiencing financial difficulties, some even cutting class and really scrounging for funds.

- dinkumthinkum 17y agoI think you'll be fine. The main thing is to choose your research area/field carefully. If you choose one that is very crowded then you won't have as many people banging down your down as if you were one of only a couple people in the field (believe me, there are many such problems).
