"Even a Princeton Engineering PhD Unemployed for Two Years"... Severe U.S. Job Crisis

Dr. Jack Weiss, a Princeton-trained chemical engineer with Nobel-worthy research, remains unemployed despite thousands of applications across industries. Though he now trains AI and considers law or entrepreneurship, his struggles reflect a stagnant labor market where few change jobs, leaving others excluded amid rising fears about artificial intelligence displacing workers.


I can see where this guy would be considered over qualified for most positions, but I still find this article suspicious.  The guy could at least hook on as a HS Substitute Teacher or Adjunct Professor at a Community College.  Going to Law School?  A REALLY dumb idea.

Not too worried about his future.  Both parents are Doctors, living at home.  Refrigerator is full, X Box works, he can hang around the Junior High and pick up 7th graders.  LOL.
