You were told by whom? An editor? A reviewer? To how many journals did you submit this research? Did you work your way from top tier journals downward? In general, almost all empirical research will find a home. I find your story less than believable without some additional context, disgruntledphd2.

I was a PhD student, I was told this by both my supervisors and much of my department.

I attempted to submit it to about 3-4 journals and never even got it sent to review.

Ultimately I left academia both for reasons research and financial, so I stopped.

I'm a little confused as to why you are doubting an anonymous comment on the Internet deep in an old thread on a mostly meaningless message board, but I guess that's life.
