You’ve probably heard the old stereotypes about professors in their ivory tower lecturing about Kafka while clad in a tweed jacket. But for many professors today, the reality is quite different: being so poorly paid and treated, that they’re more likely to be found bargain-hunting at day-old bread stores. This is academia in 2014. The most shocking thing is that many of us don’t even earn the federal minimum wage, said Miranda Merklein, an adjunct professor from Santa Fe who started teaching in 2008. Our students didn’t know that professors with PhDs aren’t even earning as much as an entry-level...

and we even for unemployment for the 8 weeks we were off each year.

The secret is, when they reject you, reapply and say I am available to work, but there is none available, and you win every time!

English much?

Rin has already provided the solution to that problem - online distance learning courses.

And lab work can be done ala carte, which reduces the need for actual physical facilities.

I didn't know much about a spectrometer, until I saw it for the first time. Same for the distillation tower and extruder.

Ironic since your eyes are themselves imaging spectrophotometers. The distillation tower? Your hillbilly cousins could have taught you all you need to know.

As for the extruder...you already had a lifetime of experience before you ever set foot in that lab!

Uncle of Jesse of the Dukes of Hazzard was suppose to make the best moonshine during prohibition.

And let's not forget the legacy of Daisy Duke on the fashion industry:

Another one for your "to do" list...

It would have been if I didn't have Jennifer Lopez and Sofia Vergara look-a-likes, down in Brazil. Right now, I'm on the look out for an Olivia Wilde.

Do you have a limited number of slots on the "to do" list?

Can"t a young, hot Daisy Duke be on there along with Oliva Wilde, Billie Piper, and Markie Post?

It's about priorities. Sure, if an accidental Daisy falls into my lap, it's not like I'm going to complain. The thing is that once you put in the combo of J Lo/Sofia V, down in Brazil, the Latin bombshell thing is satisfied and afterwards, it becomes de-prioritized. Daisy is a Latin bombshell in Southern fatigues, so it's not so important anymore.

The younger version of Markie Post was satisfied by the Olivia Newton John look-a-like in Australia, so she's also not on my radar.

Ms Wilde, however, is the beautiful eyes/soft skin "Ivory Snow" fantasy, which still needs some servicing.
