[Hanya di Amerika] Kian Banyak Master dan Doktor Antre Makan Gratis Dec 5th 2012, 00:19 In this economy, even having multiple degrees isn't a guarantee against poverty. The number of PhD recipients on food stamps and other forms of welfare more than tripled between 2007 and 2010 to 33,655, according to an Urban Institute analysis cited by the Chronicle of Higher Education. The number of master's degree holders on food stamps and other forms of welfare nearly tripled during that same time period to 293,029, according to the same analysis. The boost in PhD recipients receiving food stamps is just the latest indication of how Americans are struggling in a down economy. Overall, the number of Americans on food stamps rose 43 percent over the past three years to 46.3 million Americans as of February 2012, according to the Department of Agriculture. In addition, even graduate degrees that many used to consider a guarantee to a life of wealth and success are going down in value. The sluggish economy has pushed graduates with law degrees to look for jobs outside of the legal profession, according to U.S. News and World Report. The situation is particularly dire for faculty working outside the tenure track as cuts to funding for public colleges have squeezed their salaries. Many adjunct faculty members are likely to be on welfare, since they live on "poverty wages," the Chronicle of Higher Education reports. Meanwhile, secure tenure-track jobs are disappearing as adjunct faculty positions become more the norm, according to several news sources. While more than half of all university faculty members were tenured or on the tenure track in 1975, that percentage has plunged to less than a third of all faculty members as of 2007, according to Department of Education data cited by the Chronicle of Higher Education in a separate report. All of these factors, plus a less-than-stellar job market, have forced many PhDs to work in menial jobs. There are 5,057 janitors with PhDs, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data cited by the Houston Chronicle. In another sign that a graduate degree is no guarantee of a secure job, some students that are just graduating from graduate school are having trouble getting job interviews, according to the Hartford Courant. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobileweb/2012/05/07/food-stamps-phd-recipients-2007-2010_n_1495353.html Spoiler for "Bahasa Indonesia": REPUBLIKA.CO.ID,WASHINGTON--Dalam ekonomi sesuram ini di AS, bahkan memiliki tiga gelar tidak menjamin lolos dari kemiskinan. Saat ini jumlah pemegang gelar PhD di negara itu yang mengantre makan gratis dengan kupon bertambah lebih dari tiga kali lipat antara 2007 dan 2010 menjadi 33.655. Perlu diketahui kupon makan dan bentuk bantuan kesejahteraan serupa diberikan khusus oleh negara kepada tuna wisma dan pengangguran. Itu artinya banyak lulusan PhD di AS saat ini yang tak memiliki cukup uang untuk menanggung biaya makannya sendiri. Jumlah pemegang gelar master dalam antrean makan berkupon juga melonjak hampir tiga kali lipat dalam periode yang sama, menjadi 293.029 orang, masih berdasar laporan yang sama seperti dirilis Huffington Post awal pekan ini. Peningkatan penerima kupon makan di kalangan PhD hanyalah satu indikasi terkini betapa Amerika masih berjuang dalam kejatuhan ekonomi. Secara keseluruhan jumlah penerima kupon makan di AS, meningkat 43 persen selama tiga tahun terakhir menjadi 46,3 juta penduduk, tercatat hingga Februari 2012 lalu, menurut Departemen Pertanian. Termasuk dalam penerima adalah lulusan universitas dengan gelar tinggi yang biasa dianggap jaminan hidup sejahtera dan kesuksesan. Ekonomi memburuk di negara itu memaksa lulusan hukum---yang selama ini dianggap lahan paling menjanjikan di AS--banting setir mencari pekerjaan di luar profesi legal, demikian laporan US News dan World Report. http://m.republika.co.id/berita/internasional/global/12/12/05/mej72w-kian-banyak-doktor-antre-makan-gratis-di-as Babu berada dalam kesulitan.
