Not necessarily. Let's say you're the hiring manager at McDonalds. You've got the choice between two candidates. One is PhD who's recently lost his job at a high-powered biotech company. Needs the McD's job to tide him over while he finds another "real" job. The other is a highschool dropout. Who're you gonna hire?
I'm gonna hire the dropout. He's not gonna be looking to bail in 3 weeks if he can find a high-paying job, because he can't find a high-paying job. I know I'm gonna lose the PhD the minute something opens up in his field. Why go through all the hassle of training him when he'll be leaving so much sooner than the dropout?
