What is going on in USA: there are a lot more PhD graduates than there are jobs for them
Meanvile, a plumber does get a job and receives tolerable salary for live

The number of doctoral graduates has grown steadily over recent decades, creating a
>massive imbalance between PhD holders and available academic positions.
New doctorate holders almost doubled between 1998 and 2017.
Also trouble in UK: A 2023 study of more than 4,500 PhD graduates in the United Kingdom found over two-thirds were employed outside academia, there was an instance of a stellar cartographer now doing a parking ticket job, but at least he wasnt unemployed. (he had a masters degree in spatial dynamics, it wasnt actually PhD)
