More graduate school stuff: "bad project"

Doctoral research and then years as postdoc ... Yet, it is the innate desire for knowledge that drives most students into research in the sciences.  And, some of them have a good sense of humor too, as in this "Lady Gaga" video :)



But, at some point do we need to worry that perhaps we are generating way too many PhDs that the employment market cannot accommodate, which then drives down the earnings for these people who have spent many of their young and productive years locked up in research labs?
