She was thinking less about whether she would become a professor and more about how exciting it would be to continue her scholarship on black women’s hair. Is this a joke?

Just keep reading that over and over. I did.
Beyond the complete WTF, how does she expect her pioneering (I'm sure) work in "black women's hair" to enhance her MA in Literature?

It’s not quite as prestigious as my scholarship on white guys naval lint.
Well, somebody has to do it...

Its shocking she couldn’t find someone who would hire her.
Gotta be lots of demand for a hairstlyist with a PhD.

Engineering majors DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM; Feminist Poetry majors - yes.

A PhD in academia gives you privilege to make your grad students do all they work so your name is added to a research paper on nappy hair... real important stuff in today’s entitlement based economy.

...her scholarship on black women’s hair....her scholarship on black women’s hair.
...her scholarship on black women’s hair.
...her scholarship on black women’s hair.
And they can't get work? For some reason the story of the nuerodnicks and the bolsheviks comes to mind.

I think the job market for university positions for Ph.D.s is pretty good if your degree is in accounting, finance, computer science, transportation and/or logistics and/or global supply chain management. Ph.D.s in engineering I doubt have trouble finding university appointments.
One or two offering for each freshly minted Ph.D. I bet.
History Ph.D.’s not quite so good, usually 50-100 applications for each position. But even 20-30 years ago there was a glut of history, English, etc Ph.D.s competing for academic positions.
