Too many PhDs
Good article (from a few months ago) in The Economist on The Disposable Academic: Why Doing a PhD is Often a Waste of Time. Totally true - there are no academic jobs available for the tens of thousands of PhDs turned out each year. They're simply a source of cheap teaching and research labor for large universities.

Agreed, the article is sadly true. We've been discussing these issues as well including postdoc unions at The PostDocs Forum. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.
