I'm fully aware after having read through various forums and articles online by people who know what they are talking about that the job market for physicists, at least in America, is awful. Most grad students nowadays end up spending 5-10 years doing post-doctoral work, and when they finally do get a permanent (or at least more permanent than a post-doc position) job, they have to worry about getting grant money, which usually dictates what research they will be doing (It's hard to get grant money for really original ideas, even if they could be very insightful, as they are yet unproven to work).
So my question is this:
Is the job market for physicists any better in other parts of the world?
