For prospective students:

Some very sound advice for prospective students is found here.

To reiterate: learn more about the field!

This means: talk to people already in it, read books, read the particle physics blogs (e.g.,

Of Particular Significance, Resonaances, Quantum Diaries Survivor), as well as the

string-theory ones (to get an idea of the variety of opinions, be sure to check out

both the most notable “for ” (appears not accessible anymore)  and “against”- ones, but don’t

forget that to make up your own mind it is best to study a subject first).

Finally, see some interesting statistics on high-energy theory faculty jobs from 1994-2017.
