Comments section is just starting but already interesting. Even more interesting is the question of whether being a carnivore might hurt you on the market (this comes up in the comments).

Useful for those on the market.

If the comments get going on this, could be useful for those on the market.

Another post useful for those on the market (for different reasons than the cancellation post).

Leiter reports the initial stats on the latest Jobs for Philosophers. (Spoiler: It doesn't look good so far.)

It's job market season again, and I suspect we're in for another good round over at Philosophy Smoker

Open comments on the following:

(1) To what extent are people applying to philosophy graduate programs at the top schools disadvantaged (in the selection process) if they are older than your average grads - say 35-40 years?

(2) To what extent are older graduates disadvantaged in the job market once they've received their phds?

Leiter posted a useful discussion by Christopher Hitchcock of the differences between HPS and philosophy of science departments that will be included with the next gourmet report.

Leiter points to a write up by Brink on graduate school in philosophy. As Leiter says, sensible advice.
