I could care less what you like or don't like. It is just a fact that you are envious of me. I don't do my job because it's some sort of epiphytic plant, but rather a chance to do things. A Ph.D. and a faculty position are in no sense an end; they are a means to an end. I suspect this is what really bothers you...the idea that you should be accomplishing things, and that the credentials you have are in themselves only meaningful in the light of what you are accomplishing.

How much money you bring in is the #1 criterion for P&T in research, and you should know this. If I applied for a job in your department and showed that I could bring in 10 million worth of funding every year with say a 40% overhead, they would hire me, regardless of the opinion of one such as yourself with respect to the "quality" of publications. > Well, one admission is a start.

But usually they are not consumed by the anger of envy like you are.

It is what it is regardless. Can't you focus at all? "Anything anyone else DOES" please. Can't you write English at all? Tell you what, scrawl on your palm so you have it for next time. |
