Entry: Real Men Don't Get Tenure Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/real_men_dont_get_tenure#27349 Post contents: Well, that hit home! I am close to finishing a Ph.D. in philosophy and I agree that this is an accurate portrayal of academia. There comes a time when you are trying to explain Descartes' distinction between formal and objective reality to Hotel and Restaurant Management majors that you ask yourself: "what the hell am I doing?". Perhaps it's time to leave and get a "real job"--philosophers are in demand, aren't they? Sent at: 2008 12 01
