Fun exercise, Earth Scientists: Go through the CVs of faculty in the department you are in and count the number that have gone to an elite Uni for UG/Grad/Postdoc. If you're at an R1, I'll bet you are around 75%.

Systematic inequality in Faculty positions https://t.co/Oy2ExqQY0C
I would love to see more analysis of research staff and soft money researchers, and track the non-tenured PhDs that stay in academia.
Varies a lot by discipline though-- 8 of these "top 10" don't even have schools of social work, and social work placements are a little more diverse.

Alas, it's part of academics' notorious obsession with counting numbers: rankings, # of papers, # of citations, H-index, journal IFs, grant $, ... How to evaluate a scientist's work and potential? It's hard but I'm sure it involves more critical thinking r

I think of it this way: How many PhD students does T1 faculty advise over their career? 15? 30? Unless you're your advisor's best student, you're probably not going to get their job. So either adjust expectations accordingly or think hard what else you
