[quote=Anonymous]Something's odd here. OP mentions that she has summers/winters off, which is certainly a thing in the humanities/econ/law. But in the hard sciences and to some extent in econ, summers are pretty much when you get time to either get your research/grant writing/book writing done. So summers aren't free by any means. If she is in the hard sciences, then the timeline is all off -- Ph.Ds take 5 years (4 if you are lucky or a superstar), a postdoc of 3-5 years is a must, promotion to tenure takes 4-5 years at least and then and 4 years to a full professor promotion. So 16 years at a minimum after an undergrad. And a 38 year full professor is a rarity. And you can't get off the treadmill ever if you want to maintain funding for your lab, your research space etc. Econ is a different story but not by much. But if you have tenure and are not in the hard sciences, then taking a leave of absence is fine. [/quote]
