Years ago I was working full time and wanted to get into teaching. I whined to a friend of mine, who also has a Ph.D. that I couldn't find a way. he looked at me and said something I will never forget "If you want it bad enough, you will find a way." He was right, I found a way.
apparently you don't want it bad enough, or you don't care enough, because if you really wanted to teach, like me, you would find a way.
Instead of complaining that the requirements are ludicrous you would just do it. You found a way to get your Ph.D. Now I challenge you, find a way.
So, let me ask....at that time were you about to retire??
"...apparently you don't want it bad enough, or you don't care enough, because if you really wanted to teach, like me, you would find a way.
No, I probably don't. But you miss the point....the system needs to be changed to actually ENCOURAGE people with high technical skills into the system, instead of setting up roadblocks. You're right.....people who are retiring won't put up with the bullshit. But they shouldn't have to.
"Instead of complaining that the requirements are ludicrous you would just do it. You found a way to get your Ph.D. Now I challenge you, find a way.
Don't bother. Teaching is something I "might" enjoy, and I a more than well qualified to do so, and the students would likely benefit from my experience, but fighting the "ed biz bureaucrats" isn't worth it at my age. But again....THAT'S THE POINT.
