On an extremely tangentially related point, the thing that has annoyed me most over the last couple of days is the following comment to this post of basic (US-focused) financial advice (http://www.janegalt.net/blog/archives/005614.html).
One of the dumbest things people do is borrow $40-50K to get a doctorate in Social Work with a salary of never higher than $30k.
*fumes*
I think there is some sense in letting the market dictate salary levels, not that it often works terribly well, but picking a low-paid career is not a dumb move if it's what you love.
