Have a relative who was a college professor for years and years, finally said the hell with it, took a job in industry.
Said he couldn't take the political correctness, university politics and dumba$$es he was getting to teach anymore.
Lots of pressure from above (university's administration) to pass unqualified/failed students.
Now says he's the happiest he's been in years.
Sorry, Don’t think that this is a farce! Too many episodes and too many dumb answers. Gong to be a wild world for the next generation I’d suspect unless they grow up very fast!
Your college professor friend unfortunately met reality and found a way out - good for him.
I have a son working in the science field (PhD in environmental science), hope that he also finds a way out of this PC academic environment (I have hopes)! Trying to steer him into non-government work...
