[quote=Anonymous]OP there are a number of academics who frequent DCUM. Tell us your field and maybe we can be more helpful. But insisting that you have all the qualifications for a high-powered academic career while asking a very elementary question (how to find funding) isn't very credible. As a PP said, academia has its own massive structural issues. Low pay, vicious politics, and more. I routinely discourage young people from aspiring to academic careers because of the limited opportunities, especially if you are tied to a geographic area or care about being in a major city. It's even more daunting for mid-career changers. Professionals, even with publications and adjunct experience, rarely make the shift to FT professorships.[/quote]
