In summary: I don't think that the AIP is doing a bad job overall.In summary, the AIP has been doing a good job of fostering interest in physics among students, but they may not be providing enough information on the job market and career paths that are available to physics graduates.

Oh yeah, I think the OP needs to research why schools are recruiting so heavily
(hint:$).

Even Cooper Union has cut its scholarships. Cooper Union, fyi, was known for its policy of making education free to all students. Every student got a $20000 scholarship to cover tuition, but they were on their own for room and board.

Edit: we will leave it closed since it has veered off from the original topic about the AIP recruitment efforts and onto broader economic complaints.
