The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 PhD Inflation in Germany: Let the doctorates begin! \u2013 7<\/p>\n
A doctorate, though, seems to be worth the trouble. Between 2006 and 2010, the average monthly income of those individuals with PhDs who were employed full-time in Germany was 2,874 euros (currently 3,876 US dollars). University graduates without PhDs were receiving, on average, 2,250 euros (3,035 US dollars). The authors of the book \u201cPromovierende im Profil” (\u201cDoctoral Students in Profile\u201c) believe that a PhD acts as a signal to prospective employers, who do not yet have any idea of the ability, attitude, and competence of someone applying for a position. \u201cThey have to trust other indicators,\u201d and in Germany, more than in other countries, a PhD is seen as a \u201csign of talent.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Knauss, Ferdinand, Zeit Online, 03.04.2013.<\/p>\n *According to The Times of London, in its Higher Education Supplement [THES], World University Rankings, 2012-2013, (http:\/\/goo.gl\/6EqmQ) the Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 105 overall among the world\u2019s universities.<\/strong> At its current ranking, the Technical University of Munich is not so very far behind many universities in, for example, East Asia. It is now only fifty-three places behind China\u2019s Tsinghua University (ranked 52 in the world), only forty places behind the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (ranked 65 in the world), only fifty-nine places behind Peking University (ranked 46 in the world), only seventy-six places behind the National University of Singapore (ranked 29 in the world), only fifty-five places behind Korea\u2019s Pohang University of Science and Technology (ranked 50 in the world), and, for another comparison, only one hundred places behind the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (ranked 5 in the world).

Der Median des Erwerbseinkommens der vollzeitbesch\u00e4ftigten Promovierten im Erwerbsalter lag zwischen 2006 und 2010 im Schnitt bei 2.874 Euro. Die nicht promovierten Akademiker erzielten dagegen nur ein Medianeinkommen von 2.250 Euro monatlich. Die Promotion, so vermuten die Autoren von “Promovierende im Profil” wirkt auf dem Arbeitsmarkt als Signal: Da Arbeitgeber die wahren F\u00e4higkeiten, Einstellungen und Kompetenzen von Bewerbern noch nicht kennen, “m\u00fcssen sie sich auf Ersatzindikatoren verlassen.” Der Doktortitel wird in Deutschland also mehr als sonst auf der Welt als “Talentsignal” gesehen.<\/strong><\/p>\n (Fortsetzung folgt.)<\/p>\n Quelle: Knau\u00df, Ferdinand, Zeit Online, 03.04.2013.<\/p>\n *Nach der Times of London, Higher Education Supplement [THES], World University Rankings, 2012-2013, (http:\/\/goo.gl\/6EqmQ) steht die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, eine durch die deutsche Regierung anerkannte \u201eElite-Universit\u00e4t\u201c, an der 105.
