What Do Walmart Job Seekers and Liberal Arts Ph.D.s Have in Common?

I ask myself this question daily.  Well … almost daily anyway.   I bet the Unknown Professor does too.

[The Unknown Professor]

I'm often amused at professors who gripe about how their jobs are so bad. My attitude is, if you have better options, take them. If not, shut the "%!! up.

At least, that's what I think - I'm still untenured, so I keep it to myself.

A friend of mine once said that he thought being a finance prof is the third best job in the world (#1 is professional baseball player, and #2 is rock star).

I agree - I'd actually be willing to do this job for a lot less than my current salary (but don't tell my dean).
