From the latest issue of Nature

""FASEB[Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology]'s data suggest that too many graduate schools may be preparing too many students, so that too few young scientists have a real prospect of making a career in academic science. More effort is needed to ensure that recruitment interviews include realistic assessments of prospective students' expectations and potential in the academic workplace. And training should address broader career options from day one rather than focusing unrealistically on jobs that don't exist."

No shit.

They should make it harder to get into grad school, or easier to be kicked out. I've seen too many people become PhD's that in no way earned them.
