I want to study physics but this is the type of shit that scares me away from it. I worry that even if I manage to obtain a PhD I won't be able to secure a place in research or a closely related industry.

You should troon

>>15084757
Dunno, but someone with a PhD is infinitely more likely to do a post-doc than someone who bitches out before even starting a bachelor's. None of it is easy one way or the other, but you're putting the cart for the horse; there's a lot of time in an undergrad to figure out if you're interested in or apt to do research work long-term, and there are other opportunities.

Someone with more experience than me can probably provide a statistical answer, but I think you're at the wrong point to be asking that question (and a post-doc is just contract work you wouldn't want to do indefinitely, while landing a tenure-track faculty position is the bigger filter).

you shouldn't be doing a PHD at all unless you're willing to accept the possibility that you might get stuck teaching undergrad classes and grading papers for 5-10 years until you suck enough dicks to get a research position. As faggy as it sounds, academia is a lifestyle not a job. It's all about the journey. If you're unwilling to take a couple unplanned detours then you shouldn't be doing it at all.

That is easy, science depends on a huge army of postdocs who are the foot soldiers in the labs. Tenure is hard.

You're stereotyping. I have worked with several PhD recipients and they all have wives and families. Maybe, you should leave your house and go out into the real world instead of baiting on 4chan and you'd realize that more often than not, scholars and academics lead relatively normal lives like any other profession.
