Or, they want hand-outs. Oddly enough the university types I know are like that, because, well, we're on the public's dime here. Sure, we give back something for that money, but professors want funding and grad students want assistantships and undergrads don't want their tuition to go up. And they think a Democrat's going to give them more money.
Me, I figure a Republican will get the economy into better shape, so there'll be more money to invest in research. For instance, a certain large computer company (not the one Rose works for) has a branch in town. They just called the department last week and offered to outfit one of our classrooms with top of the line computers, free. The government doesn't have anything to do with that sort of thing.
And many times they are deceived...
and to think at one time I had WANTED to be a college professor!! Growing up I just thought that was the coolest thing! Now I can remember the moments when my parents looked like they were biting their tongues REALLY hard!!! And most of the professors I came to know were real duds in the Help A Student Go Out Into The Real World department.
Have been spending most of the morning posting resumes to local agencise. There is a local position that I am real interested in, but I need to turn in my app and hope for the best. It would be perfect for me, if I got it. Pray for me please!!
