That is, of course, in the real world. In the world of academia, a self perpetuating scam that does some good by accident, they love to hire those who follow their own behind the times close minded career path.

This is why teachers get automatic raises when they get another post grad degree, There is no demonstrable improvement in their ability to teach, but since they have to pay tuition to big ed to get raises in big ed, this is how the whole stinky tenured system keeps sucking us dry.

Meanwhile, a good laptop and some traveling around the country or world can teach you more than any classroom ever could.

Absolutely! It’s amazing how, in my field anyway, it’s darn hard to get a door open without the resident, predetermined ‘qualifications’ which, more often than not, are part of the larger ‘self-licking ice cream cone.’ But IF you can get the interview and think on your feet, you are almost always golden.
