ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to determine the awareness and opinions of PhD students regarding"over education" problem. In the scope of the study, screening model was conducted on a total of 105 students from various universities in Turkey. The data collected by the questionnaire were analyzed by descriptive statistical techniques. The results of the analysis of the data are as follows: PhD students are partially aware of the problem of overeducation and perceive this as a problem of employment and education. PhD students have a moderate job concern. This concern is higher in women and married people. After graduation, many PhD students are considering working at public instutitions and working as academicians. Half of these students do not agree to work in a job that is not suitable for their level of education, and most of them think that they will suffer from such a situation. Students' concerns and thoughts may be a sign that Turkey will experience over education problem in near future.
