I just learned of some really amazing-looking data publicly available for all to use. The Michigan Education Center has data on K-12 staffing, finance, and even test scores! The Criminal Justice Administrative Records System (CJARS) has data following individuals through the criminal justice system.
PhD students looking for dissertation ideas, why not just browse through the data while you're procrastinating doing something else. Chances are, nothing will jump out at you right away, but maybe in a month or two (or three or four), you'll be at a seminar or reading a paper or going for a run, and that's when the idea will come.
