re: #289 The Sanity Inspector

There’s a bitter spoof somewhere on the web about the metabolism of graduate school. Candidates (and their money) are admitted as raw material. They are converted into low-paid graduate assistants, helping run the system. They are then excreted as unemployable PhDs.

Ah, but that is why you get a day job. Hopefully I’ll go for a PhD in history, but if I do, my Mate’s license will provide an secure avenue for income.
