In all fairness, I was simply listing professions that people with phil. PhDs have had before their coursework, and saying how each found phil. graduate work harder. I guess I could have found all marines who went into a phil. graduate program, but that would just be a bit time consuming, no?

Yeah, it may all be seen to be trivial, but it cannot be denied that it is a lot of bloody work.

yes it can. Ethereal discussions and reading about questions without answers is absolutely garbage, IMO and pretending it to be grueling work is almost laughable.

definetly. after you receive your full pension which is 80+% of your final years salary i'm sure you'll have lots of the governments money to spend and lots of time to spend it. and i certainly can understand why you can work another job and get 100% of your pension.

Do the theologians get your condemnation too? Or just the philosophers, who actually give a damn about things that are touching human existence?

I most certainly do. I wouldn't call it grueling but "real jobs" have their non-grueling aspects as well...

true, but you must admit that the allure of the "flexibility" if you will of your job is a major attraction for the lazy.

yeah, you can be a professor if you want a flexible schedule with summer's off. But, then you have no hope of tenure and will not do that well at what you do. A good professor spends summers writing, occasionally teaching, and at the very least preparing. You can that that with any job.

none of them get my condemnation, unless they want to pretend that elective graduate education is tantamount to a hard Siberian labor sentence.

Again, I only defended the work ethic of people in the profession I'm planning on going into.

No doubt we have a bunch of lazy SoBs and the system tolerates it. On the otherhand, we have people that work their arses off and make all kinds of scratch.

I like to hover around above average but below excellent -- oh yeah, I like the coeds...

right because at any job you can get something called "tenure" that allows you after 6 years on the job to half your work load, double your salary, and never get fired.
