Nowadays, people who go into academia for stability are crazy. :( There's the uncertainty of funding for the PhD. There's the innumerable post-docs. There's adjuncting. There's what the State of Wisconsin is doing to its previously excellent university system.
So depressing. I've had to start actively advising students not to go on to do PhDs unless they have a robust plan of what they will do with it outside of academia.
