An Academic Job Slump is Making Graduate Students Depressed
By Akane Otani 2 hours ago
An unforgiving job market and insufficient emotional support can make graduate school a tough slog—so much so that, at the University of California at Berkeley, 47 percent of Ph.D. students and 37 percent of master's students appear to be depressed, according to a new report.
For the study (pdf), released by Berkeley's Graduate Division and Graduate Assembly this week, researchers surveyed 790 graduate students on their academic progress, satisfaction with life, and mental health. They found the top predictor of students' well-being was how they felt about their job prospects.
