++ however there were a lot of out of work PhDs around when I was a kid in rural New Mexico; the proximity of the Sandia and Los Alamos National labs. LSD was $4 a tab, at most, because some of the unemployed were chemists.

Expertise can't always overcome personal choices or quirks. An expert with an inconvenient personality tick or unusually strong ethics will have a much harder time finding work. One easy example: Deciding against working for the US government as a conscientious position can cut a huge swath right through the available jobs. Hell, your very expertise can count against you if you're engaged in a field that is highly regulated or political. People who know exactly what they are doing can be a burden or even a legal liability in those situations.

(I'm pro-expertise and highly pro-work, I just has to calls 'em like I sees 'em.)
