I think you will find it much more rewarding and much less stressful.<BR/><BR/>You could work on a Ph.D. while you're at it. A young, intelligent man with your talents will go far in upper level Academia.<BR/><BR/>One word of caution, try to stay away from public universities. They are for the most part over-run by bliss ninnies and it's damn hard to keep your career on track without getting a pink slip unless you are a yes man and a Liberal.<BR/><BR/>Believe me, I've been a Libertarian in the midst of a bunch of whining Liberals for over two decades now. If I didn't have tenure and was not already so deeply vested in the retirement system, I'd tell these folks what I think and move on.<BR/><BR/>Good luck buddy.<BR/><BR/>JoeAssrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093506505019819353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404305187176881635.post-38550318130803144482009-03-15T12:08:00.000-04:002009-03-15T12:08:00.000-04:00DAHM!
