Outside of academia, you are over qualified and will not be hired for nearly every geology job with a phD. Even larger companies don't want many phD people. M.Sc. is generally what the industry people look for.
True, but my definition of "best job" is something in academia. Pay isn't as good but you get tons of perks

I agree academia is a great career, but not for everyone. Reading 62 papers on Chicxulub to formulate my own opinion would put me on suicide watch.
