None of thats true though, even if it were it would apply about equally to a spot on 'The Biggest Loser' so who cares really?

well it is entirely true, isn't it?

career in academia: 7 years training, 3 degrees
graduate career in the city (or for apple): 1 degree, 2:1 requirement

academia is more competitive for post-doc placements than law. incredibly over-saturated and dog-eat-dog labour market.
graduate job-sector in UK: growing year on year since the 2008 crash.

what carries more social esteem and class? a university don, or a middle-manager for a corporate?

lol keep dreaming dilbert.

you are a very sad and disheveled man dilbert. i feel genuine pity for you. when my dad was your age he had many more things in his life than you evidently do now. what a tragic figure you are. perhaps you are so angry at people with healthy, functioning careers because your own life has been side-tracked so much. i am sorry, and i mean that sincerely, not in a trollsome way. you have a lot of bitterness that needs putting to bed.

Sydney is hip? It's the corporate capital of Australia. If you want 'hip', visit Melbourne.

I have zero respect for 'career' academics, sorry. In the humanities even less.

Its more hip than many places.

Melbourne is well beyond being over-hip, a pall of coffee fumes hangs over it like a fog of death.

unfortunately for you your opinions seem extreme and strange. the odd rantings of a strange and pathetic little man. the rest of society historically places a high esteem and respect on scholars for very good reasons. throughout history. even that korean society you lionize so much for its hyper-capitalism and shallow culture places the highest regard for scholars. seems world history is against your bent little personal views. again: sorry you are so bitter. water off my back, unfortunately.

Point me to the top ten literature scholars held in high esteem by society right now, when was the last 'major breakthrough'?
Oh here we go, Shakespeare could have been a teacher for a while, wow, how world-changing.

No-one gives a fuck about your strange micro-world, its just of no interest to anyone outside it, any more than you or anyone else give a crap about whats going on in the average University engineering department - Oksferd or otherwise.

that's a crushing criticism from the guy that sits online all day recycling reddit image-memes.

and listens to heavy metal.

and still dresses in all black.

such an expert adult, dave. i bet that first office job out of your computing degree has really opened your eyes and made you world-wizened.

academia takes 7-8 years of career training, minimum. so does the medical profession. are trainee doctors "not grown up"?

you are a fucking donk

yeah dude nothing screams "grown up adult" like teenage skate-wear on a pasty white nerd.

great posture, too. all that reddit hogging clearly shaping a fine upstanding man.

please. just drop the silly lines of argument. chasing the "uzi let me know when you've grown up" line is fatuous.

you are functionally one degree above this guy

You'll have no trouble listing a dozen superstar literature academics and the earth-shattering progess they've made in, I dunno, the last 20 years then.

There's absolutely no way I'd accept a Doctor's full medical training and a PhD in 'literatoor' could be considered remotely comparable, just none.

One day you'll wake up.

will that be before or after i'm 40 years old and still living with mummy? you seem really in tune with reality.

it would be easy for me to make that list, but you'll just invent some new excuse to invalidate it, based on your own pig-ignorance, again.

i'm not having the same 'explain academia to me' talk with you. go search one of the 100's of earlier convos. it's all there.

No it wouldn't, thats the thing. Thats why you find it easier to indulge in paragraphs of personal attacks than, you know, back up your claims.

When you realise you've wasted your life let me know, I doubt bf2s will still be running but meh.

you have a poor posture. i just don't understand why bf2s's biggest drooling reddit geek wants to 'flame' me based on:

a) sporting prowess (you clearly have none)
b) 'grown up' appeal (your bf2s schtick is posting lame images and generally being the biggest introvert here)

find something else to do dave. this is not profitable for you.

i have a book literally on my desk next to me right now written by this guy, no research or um'ing and ah'ing necessary.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Said

but let me guess, he 'doesn't count' for some reason. doesn't meet the dilbert measure. mr. lady gaga hasn't heard of him, thus his contributions haven't permeated far enough down into the dull bedrock of the philistine imagination. okay.

this exercise will really go far.

he's wearing skate-wear. nothing says "grown up adult" like a dude wearing fashion-brands marketed to 14 year olds and the 'extreme sports' demographic. as i said: just do something else. trying to 'flame' me for not being "mature" enough, when you are exactly my age, and post/dress like a child... is not a good way to spend your time.

I should have worn a ralph lauren tshirt and marc jacobs shorts to the tropical island.

I see where I went wrong now. Thanks.
