>all but dissertation PhD in theoretical physics from a top ten uni. Will graduate in summer
>Tfw job hunt.

Any other Bros out there with a similar feel? I just want a comfy teaching post at some out of the way school where I have a little time for research and can raise a family and maybe some hobbies. How can I do this without a decade of post doc work?

I want small fries with my big mac. Yes small fries, like you are but 3 packs. Now give me my order or I'll tell the manager you're pulling faces!
And that is why you should make your own business right after high school instead of spending your best years on meme degree

If you are in a top ten uni, and your record is solid, you can pretty much walk into mid-tier institutions tenure track positions.

If you actually are from a top 10 uni with everything but your dissertation you shouldn't have much of an issue finding something. Shit shouldn't you be able to easily find work at state level schools? Shit what about going and teaching at a community college until you find something better.

That's what I'm trying to do. Nevertheless a lot of these places still want post doc exp, and those who don't usually ask for a (((diversity))) statement

Theoretical physics is mathematical erotica fan fiction writing.

It’s not. Mcdonalds says it is cheaper for them to automate. They don’t do it because they value the human element of the purchasing experience. It’s branding.
Former CEO Ed Rensi:
>I guarantee you if a $15 minimum wage goes across the country you’re going to see a job loss like you can’t believe. It’s cheaper to buy a $35,000 robot than it is to hire an employee who’s inefficient making $15 an hour bagging French fries.
Just think about it, to buy one robot that can do the job of three minimum wage employees would pay for itself in less than a year. And it never gets sick, takes breaks, asks for a raise, gets tired, shows up late, and you don’t need to give it benefits.

Also with lack of jobs comes social dissent and demand for improved social safety net. That's something corporations and the elite do not want to stimulate overly much, as it would be more expensive for them.

I majored in pure mathematics myself and it's because my ADHD is so strong that anything else makes me wanna kill myself. I literally wouldn't be able to graduate in the humanities or probably even anything outside of mathematics because it's all boring as fuck and I can't concentrate on it.

You are probably referring to the counter and drive through which they have started automating to a limited degree (pre-recorded upsales, kiosks, ect.). If it were cheaper to automate the make line they would have done it already to reduce the number of errors without visibly cutting jobs
