I appreciate this but in the context of this discussion when a PhD asks “is it better in industry” they do not mean going to work at a meat packing plant.

Your larger point is true though and it would be great for there to be equity and dignity for all people of all professions!

I tend to agree that's a somewhat safe bet and it gave me pause making this comment.

However "industry" has not been thoroughly qualified and it has been used throughout the comments in a very general way.. Plus, I'm sure Tyson Foods employs some PhDs among its 141,000 workers :)
