Mixed Messages

Since I'm attending a highly rated university, I should aim for a tenure track position. At least, that's what the talking heads say. But the message I get from looking at these graphs is rather different.

You forgot,

Talking heads say "My god, how did I get here?"

It's not so much the numbers that bother me as much as the distribution. If I interpret these graphs and do what they say, as a woman, I'm just as likely to get a job as a lecturer as I am a tenured position.

But then, my "problem" has always been that I don't do what graphs say.
