Could anyone copy the text for us paywalled peasants?

I've seen people like this before. The problem is not the job market, which merely happens to be fucked as well right now. But with a summa cum laude degree from Rice and a PhD from Princeton you usually knock at any big firm remotely interested in STEM and you will at least land an interview with someone important. There is only one reason you can fail from that point: You're a complete social inept. A double PhD from Oxford will not save you if you can't hold a conversation. This stuff doesn't matter in school, but it is paramount in the real world. To quote the late Professor Winston from MIT: Your success in life will be determined by three things,

1. Your ability to speak.

2. Your ability to write.

3. Your ability to think.

- in that order! If you suck at social communication, you basically have to be an era-defining genius like Newton in the thinking department if you want to make it. And even he almost wouldn't have gotten his most famous work published if Halley (yes, the guy the comet is named after) hadn't realized his genius.

He entered the STEM job market in the US at the worst possible time, between BigTech layoffs and the current US exec branch attacks on domestic STEM employment in general. And having a PhD can be a turnoff to many potential employers and hiring managers.
