[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends entirely on your filed. My kid is getting a science PhD. Thank God she did not choose a field where success hinges on glad-handing and drinking skills. The ability to make fake small talk and butter up those in the Executive Suite. [/quote] Oh sweet summer child. Do you truly think success in academia does [b]not[/b] require glad-handing, fake small talk, and the ability to butter up your superiors? Do you not know how hiring and promotion works in academic departments? [b]Better get her working on her social skills or she will be one of the many sad PhDs who does not get tenure. In which case... she will end up working in the business world, where she will need to know how to do glad-handling, fake small talk, and buttering up superiors.[/b][/quote] This, this, a thousand times this.[/quote]
