The current academic environment is just that, a terrible one. It's more insulting when you think of how what few winners there are include some of the worst people in existence. The Upturned Microscope already emphasizes that some professors are pretty bad already from suffering from laziness thanks to the endless resource pool of PhDs and postdocs looking for a way to keep working.
I still feel bad for Michelle. She's earning less than me. *ME*! I may have more experience in this field, but she has a god damn PhD working on materials and yet due to some downturn she can't even get a promotion to a similar position.
Thanks for reminding me, I gotta keep looking for her sake.
