It is not as bad as you have stated in Brazil, but it is getting worse each year. My cousin is currently working on her PhD and I hope that it does her well. We'll see..

After many years of doubts, sacrifices and investigation, I changed the aspects of my academical job in pro of a lifestyle of freedom and satisfaction. Now i couch academical writing procedures, work home, as I want, I produce in my time and to propiciate me quality. Many of my coleagues and friends tended to continue with their academical life due to the lack of other options to consider. Unfortunately, here in Brazil we live in a moment when there is almost any synergy between academical and business life, and it is so serious that a lot of PhD are unemployed or subemployed. So, it is quite hard to change. I felt myself contemplated by this post!
