Nobody has ever walked up to me in a supermarket and asked if I want to work as an assistant professor at their university. I have been offered drilling jobs this way. Also, the lack of real-world focus and professional development associated with higher degrees means that students automatically look to academia first when job hunting. So academia is certainey more competative, even if the physical conditions are less demanding.C W Mageehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706100504739548720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-59680321220981080582010-02-17T13:23:35.007-05:002010-02-17T13:23:35.007-05:00(Clapping).

I suppose that is why I enjoy reading your posts so much; not only are your posts interesting, but your talent for writing provides for a great read.<br /><br />Husband once got out of the Army and during that time was let go from his job unexpectedly. It was shocking and stressful. As a result, he returned to the military. It's not optimum for me because I'm always transferring, but at least there is a certain job security in it. That alone goes a long way- as you said.Cannibal Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584705813083431976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-57534592365885220632010-02-16T22:01:18.027-05:002010-02-16T22:01:18.027-05:00I wouldn't presume to understand what was goin...I wouldn't presume to understand what was going on in the shooter's mind, but it's entirely possible that she might have already been all too sympathetic with your concluding thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
