^^^Guess Republicans should be encouraged to be educators then. Oh, wait, there's not enough money in it. Never mind.

Have you checked out the pay and benefits of college professors lately?  These are not your father's college professors.

That was my thought. The problem is obvious: Republicans aren't going in to teaching. Why do some of the Republicans here think that is? Time to stop whining about East Coast liberal college elites and storm the ivory tower, guys!

Maybe the problem is the Republican bias against "eggheads" and "educated elite"? With your party heaping scorn like that on our famed institutions of higher learning, combined with the low pay, an investment banking job probably looks like a better bet.[/quote]

I wonder if it's becuase Republicans don't want to work as professors or because the liberals in the school don't want to hire (or promote) conservatives?  I don't know how colleges hire and promote professors - but this seems to be an area where affirmative action might be needed to break down barriers and establish diverstity.[/quote]
