Every academic should read this. I counted and realized statistically I have a better chance being a Hollywood star than a fully employed professor in my field in the U.S. The most successful person in my field I know left TT at a top flight university for a job industry and now makes 7 figures. Inspiring. I didn't get a Ph.D. to be on the bottom of the heap, pushed around by a lot of people who aren't as smart or educated as I am, did you?
