>Ph.D from the University of Reading
>Didn't get it published

Unsurprised desu.

>Also a qualified engineer

Slightly more surprised.

Overqualification is real problem
It's strange that this guy, if he had a doctorate, didn't build the contacts to get a job in the field.

He could also very well have taken a job of teacher, instead of a call centre.

>Overqualification is real problem

That's not the problem at all. He decided to do a Ph.D at a not very good university, then compounded that by not being able to get it (or any part of it, or even any other research) published, now that's his problem.

Getting a job or advancing your career is mostly about who you know, not what you know.

I know a man who eventually became a titan in an unrelated field who got a PhD in physics but became a janitor out of school. This shit happens all the time.

Copypasta by that guy before he suicided: You can confirm on warosu or whatever
