I actually have a PhD in Social Psychology, but couldn't deal with the publish or perish thing in academia so I went back to being a chef. I had originally become a chef to put myself through college.
yeah, I remember those pushes for publishing. Lucky for me I only had to run seminars... welcome to lifestyle management 101
Seminars I had no problem with. It was feeling like I had something worthwhile to write about. Long story, but there was a certain amount of "cowboying" in my department.
oh yeah, I know the type. We actually had a professor that pretty much was black balling me from everything because I embarrassed her, the almighty one that made us by 8 text books for her class all written by non other then herself, the expert.
