TBH if you attend 5 years at uni and don’t catch on how few professors there are to literally everyone else at the university perhaps your reasoning skills are not that great.
I mean I did 5 years with a master in thermodynamics (physical chemistry) and my section had 20 offices. Three had a professor in them.
Top sciencetists are is like top athlets. The same drive, dedication and forsaking other things to be best.
True, but not everyone there is vying for an academic job. Especially like something in thermodynamics. I work in the aerospace industry and every engineer has at least a masters in a science/engineering field, a lot have PhD.
The OP laments how he did his PhD because he wanted an academic career, and how his PhD didn’t land him a professorship.
Given how he must have spent 5 years at some institution or other, and have at least some success seeing how he got the PhD student position in the first place. My point was that how he in those 5 years didn’t figure out how hard it is to become a professor I find strange.
