The majority of PhDs will not obtain permanent careers in science. In the UK, it's less than 4% (0.45% professors) [1].
Most of your peers--and perhaps even you--will find themselves searching for careers in a new field at some point. Let's not badmouth them for taking a good opportunity.
I don't think I badmouthed them, I just said I can't imagine wanting that. Being forced into it is another matter. I totally sympathise with anyone who is forced out of science due to lack of jobs.
