Not everyone who earns a PH.D. wants to or is able to pursue a career as a professor or academic researcher. But many graduate students, post-docs, and faculty are uncertain about what career options exist and how to pursue them. Paula Chambers, founder of The Versatile PHD, presents facts about the academic job market and career pathways. She shows how PhDs do have transferrable skills, that there are lots of careers PhDs can go into, and there are many ways to prepare for those careers.
Paula Chambers, PH.D. was working on her dissertation in English at Ohio State when she realized she would prefer a non-academic career. Not finding much information about her options, she created a listserv on non-academic careers for humanities PhDs, the first of its kind. In 2010, she transformed the list into Versatile PHD. Paula runs Versatile PHD from her home office in Los Angeles.
