Job prospects aside, most ecology/evolution programs are bad. The "good" ones are run by arrogant assholes who think they are famous because they have a bunch of niche papers, and the medicore ones made up of oblivious assholes that think they are smart because they've memorized the same 20 papers as a bunch of other people.
Programs itself provide zero to little training in the essentials (i.e. experimental design and analysis) that you don't have to learn to still get through the program. And like others side, field work may be non existent. A lot of EEB biology is trying to move towards quantitative stuff, and does so at the expense of observation. That and the idiotic push towards make science "engaging" for non scientist means no one cares about the bioology, just if you can do math and entertain kids.
