[quote=Anonymous]It has its pros and cons.  He is constantly busy - evenings, weekends, summers, etc.  I always laugh when people say he must be on holiday all summer - he works harder in the summer than during the school year.  He also travels a lot - when he was younger and establishing himself in his field, he would give every seminar and go to every conference he was invited to - now that he is better established, he is much pickier.  And yes, he does often think he is the smartest person in the room!

On the other hand, while he works about 80 hours a week, he can often, if he is in town, take off to go to a kid event.  He is smart and has wide ranging interests that go way beyond his field.  He loves me and has stuck with me through thick and thin - not sure that has anything to do with being a prof.

He is in a STEM field and is quite well remunerated, so we don't have the financial issues that profs in other fields do.

He is pretty normal, but, wow, some of his colleagues are crazy as loons!
