Dr. Jared Oliphint is a 2022 PhD graduate in philosophy at Texas A&M University and, like the majority of PhD graduates in the humanities, was completely unable to land a teaching. In an academic world, defined by pledging allegiance to diversity, equity, and inclusion, a humanities teaching career is not likely going to happen. You should discourage your friends and loved one from pursuing a humanities PhD because the stress and trauma of their likely and eventual unemployment may not be worth it.
