[quote=Anonymous]You are all wrong. If you want to become an academic, get your dissertation published -- preferably by a top-tier press. Bring in grant money. Have your dissertation win a prize. Get some articles published. Present at conferences. There is no golden ticket. THere is no magic school that will make you successful. It's about character and hard work. It's not about luck. If you go to an academic conference, you will meet people from many diverse schools who are teaching at many diverse schools. If you go to an alumni reunion at an Ivy League school, you will meet people with broken marriages, broken lives, and drug addictions -- as well as many successful individuals. There is no magic pathway to success.[/quote]
