When I was close to completing my PhD, another grad student and I used to joke with each other about what we'll use our PhDs for, and our standard was, "Would you like fries with that?" At the time, 25 years ago, there were so many people getting PhDs it was a ridiculously competitive job market, with 75-100 people applying for single tenure-track positions.
