PhD graduate can't find work

[ForceFate]

You make it sound like its a fallback to get a job as an Academic. Know a few people in the field and I can tell you its not necessarily easy to get in.

Not at all. I have an idea how hard it is. One of my sisters is in academics.

The guy is already halfway into it.

Just saw this, the guy does to an meeting/interview with the mayor in a T-shirt and jeans...

 

[cguy]

Where did you come up with the R3,500 per month figure?

His twitter feed. He says that it's a training stipend for a year.

No, another guy said it. He didn’t say anything about the amount.

 

[ToxicBunny]

R3500 pm is plain ridiculous. He's past basic internship phase.

Has he? Does he have any real practical real
World experience?

 

[f2wohf]

He says 4 years work experience in his twitter.

Not sure of the details.

Comrade, nobody gives a fark. He deserves a Salary surpassing the ceo and if does not happen it's racist..

/scoffs

Cheap shot. Pretty certain no one implied that here.

 

[Nicodeamus]

This guy can starve if he doesn't want to work.

After bothering to read thru this thread and Twitter, I get the exact same idea. Can't the government accomodate him somewhere?

Be interested to find out the details of that 4 years. I’m going to hazard a guess and say it has nothing to do with his chosen field of study or future work

CoCT is part of government.

Research assistant at UCT in the same field 2+ years, teaching assistant at CPUT, etc.

Maybe so. Doesn't sound like anyone trust him. So maybe it was just a 'see if you can do the job' pay. Oh well I guess he has a better offer waiting for him.

Never mind the T-shirt and jeans, it will drive me nuts having a 'side-nick' conversation. Turn those damn couches!

I'm sure the EFF or ANC can offer him a non- racist salary of 350 000 per month. But maybe he is over qualified for them.

The EFF has more qualified people in its management than other parties.

Is that where their economic policy comes from?


I hope this piece of filth never gets a job. Also happy that the point scoring exercise from the DA blew up in their faces. There's policies regarding the filling of jobs, you just can't give it to the first squealer on twitter.

Probably true. Viva EFF!

Not really, it has a bunch of BA graduates who majored in useless degrees like African studies or humanities. Hardly a skill that drives emlployment these days.
