Really. Interesting.

You could make an argument for PhD level, but the only reason you get
a PhD is for research - not instruction.

More ignorant bull**** from SW Tom.

Most university employment ads I have seen for tenure track positions at
the assistant or associate professor level require a doctorate, and
those are for teaching positions. Obviously such jobs also may have a
research component.

Your "this is the way it is because I say so" pronouncements here are
consistently close to or even over the edge, and are reflective of a
closed mind.

My wife will be getting her doctorate next year, as soon as her
dissertation is completed and defended.

I taught college Physics for two semesters. Easiest job I ever had
and I had 15 "contact" hours whereas the normal load for a prof is
12. Not only was I finishing up my research too, I was writing two
papers and job hunting and caving every weekend and still had a lot of
free time.
I dunno about doctors in training, I have heard it is grueling.


Nice, but has nothing to do with what I posted.
I taught freshman English for two semesters, and I didn't even have a
master's degree at the time. But...I was not interested in full-time
permament employment, or the tenure track or research. I was interested
in earning some bucks while getting my master's.

But that's not what i was talking about, either.

BTW, I do have an idea for an invention...but all I have is the idea.
What do you know about...plastics?

I'm not kidding, either. :)
