[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College professors are some of the least talented ego-inflated hacks around, administrators are evil, & HR is stupid. But I don't think that's a dirty secret. [/quote] It's also not true. I did my PhD from Harvard. Only the best in my class (not me) had the chance to go on to faculty positions.
