How do you know?
And can you deal with the politics of academia? JF couldn't
I have more squandered potential than most
What's your IQ score?
Yeah you have a few options. 1. Take time off and reflect 2. Get a more chill job and take the pay cut, but keep your sanity and have more free time
I’d probably hate the politics of academia but work has politics too
You could consider moving too,..
Academia can shut out conservatives.
Maybe they can shut out you too.
I donno
Nah my job isn’t really bothering me too much. It is a little annoying each half you have to write u everything you did and justify why you should get a good rating
Can you quit your job and work part time as a consultant?
Do you have a PhD
?
Only an MS
Eh ya I could see that. I pretty much ignore everything but the actual productive work where I'm at
but I suppose I'm lucky in that regard. I hate jumping through hoops for management
Does your job give leaves of absence?
Mine does. No pay, but you get your job back eventually
Does your wife work?
Yeah I was super lucky in my job so far I got two greatly exceeds ratings and Everything I touched turned to gold but who knows if that can continue heh
Yeah
@Leaf
you are holding me to unfair standards..
I can only say what I am capable of describing in a short window of time.
I can not be responsible for *justifying* things that I am not talking about:
An everything is dangerous the way Isee it,
Philosophy should be a step by step. by each issue
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure you could go wherever you want
I wouldn't even be worried about that stuff if I was you
You can apply to gradute schools without quitting your job
That's what I'd do
My wife used to work but she quit
Well. Someone has to put food on the table. I hope it isn't SNAP
Yeah I dunno if I have discipline to do both at same time.
how much money do you need for a family?
In California food isn’t the hard part it’s mortgage lol
Well, you could get a fellowship or something and get paid. A lot of PhD students teach or get grants and stuff. You can wait and see if you get a fat envelope before quitting your job
I only say so to convey to you and hopefully have you affirm that since *you cannot* be accountable for every malign act which this philosophy could justify then you cannot justify applying it upon the principle that it is reasonable as a mode of life or organisation with this prior knowledge.
they should just have a super hard competency test for physics and other degrees tbh
I think family pays for itself. You work harder and become more responsible
if I was a billionare I would buy a farm and try to be self sustained
even it cost me 90% of all the money
With math degree background it’s not too hard to learn physics
My index finger smells very strongly of tobacco
