過往探討博士就業問題時，鮮少針對正值就讀的人文社會科學博士生。求學與求職密切相關，博士在求學時即面臨環境變化的挑戰，探討此階段亦可替博士就業尋求解方。本文從行動者角度出發，建議博士班應幫助學生發展適應環境的能力，並提供跨國／境的招聘資訊。對已畢業的博士來說，政府應正視「學術勞動的臨時工化」，並改善其勞動條件。

Studies on doctorate employments rarely pay attentions to Ph.D. students especially in humanities and social sciences. Confronted with ever-changing environments, Ph.D. students must learn to meet the needs of job markets. A good grasp of their job perspectives as students would eventually help solve doctorate employment problems. This paper therefore explores how Ph.D. students in humanities and social sciences normally experience the long course of doctoral study in Taiwan and whether such experiences and trainings sufficiently prepare them for eventual employments. In contrast to old studies that are mainly structure-oriented, the author explores from the perspectives of agency, while significantly based on personal experiences. He argues that Ph.D. programs should help Ph.D. students in a way more directly and efficiently, by providing employment information not just limited within Taiwan; that the government should take seriously the tendency of ＂casualization of academic labor＂ and improve job conditions for Ph.D. degree-holders.
