To expand a little, surely even at a Community College the lecturer is expected to have expertise in the area in which they are teaching? I honestly don't believe that this can be the case if the lecturer only has a BA (or whatever undergraduate degree it is). Plus, they wouldn't have the research skills to find out the stuff they don't know and the career development offered by postgraduate education.
Yeah. I'd expect a college professor to have a Master's at the absolute minimum.
Its weird sometimes Ford shows up and gives really "I don't give a shit" interviews, but then he does Kimmel and does little bits like that. So is Kimmel like an illegitimate child of his or something?
That or Harrison Ford is the coolest guy ever.
I have no doubt he's a nice fellow. His charity work/rescue stuff is already proof of that. I just wish people like Leno or even John Stewart would realize when someone like Ford doesn't like doing their show and not have him on as a guest when he clearly looks like he'd rather be somewhere else.
it's his job. People like ford get paid to promote movies. actually acting is like 10% of their careers

And I'd rather they not have Ford out there to promote a film if he's going to be clearly agitated stumping for it. Man's paid his due, send the director/writer/blowjob girl out there. Let Harrison be content with his stick.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

his job is to sell a billion tickets. part of him doing that is going on these shows to say 'hey I'm in this movie check it out'
it's like 10 minutes of his fucking charmed dream of a life. he can put on a grin.
we can see that he can be entertaining, he can't totally hate it or he wouldn't do bits like that. if he likes one show less than another maybe he could like, get over it, sit there smiling dreaming of the insane money he just made.
I like harrison ford a LOT too. but for him to not try to entertain when on a show like that irks me.
Hey, bob, stroke my ego a little. Was my little pharmacological babbling at least somewhat enlightening?
As per usual, it was very helpful.
It was kinda nice to know about why people seem less likely to think I'm faking it with the drug combination I'm on. I never thought about it at the time, I was just so happy to have found after far too many years something which made the pain manageable enough I would concentrate at Uni.

Feral=awesome!
Sweet, thanks.
And with that, I'm going to grab some lunch. Catch you all in a bit.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Of course, my dream job is academia so I'm probably a little biased.
so is ending up in Canada still a possibility for you once you finish your PhD?
If someone over there wants to give me a job, then yes. Same with other Commonwealth countries or even the States (if getting a work visa isn't a total pain in the ass).
I just want a job.

Fuck, maybe I should just take out a student loan and start a master's.
Unless it's for a field that's hiring a lot of people with masters it's probably not worth the debt
Yeah, the general rule of thumb is: is there a specific reason you want a master's?
Yes. It's impossible to get a job researching politics without one, whether at a nonprofit or a college/university. This isn't some spur of the moment thing, I've wanted to do this for a long time, I just can't afford it without getting a job. There are quite a few positions out there for people with master's degrees in Poli Sci.
Maybe I should start looking into teaching community college. I had considered it for a little while but never really took it anywhere...but landing a position like that right now sounds about as good as it could get.

This is awesome. Paul Stamets (the guy referenced as inspiration for the idea) has a really interesting talk on TED.com about the practical applications of fungi. Basically, they can do everything from rid your house of carpenter ants to cleaning up toxic petrochemical and radioactive (!) waste.
The suit sounds like a neat, if somewhat unnecessary, idea. I'd like to know that my corpse went to produce something beneficial.
Okay, I'm going to leave in a minute, but first...
I can understand where she's coming from but the suit is kind of overkill. There are natural burial cemeteries where they'll just put your body in a biodegradable box in the ground with no chemical treatment so you can decompose naturally.
Everybody in my immediate circle knows that when I die, that's what I want. I have a place picked out, near Marin: http://www.foreverfernwood.com/
Someday I'm going to start making payments to that. I want them to plant a tree over me.

Crap, I live in a state where you need a master's degree to teach elementary or high school students full time.
The concept of getting a college teaching job other than some horrible TA job forced upon me as part of grad school work study seems so remote I might as well not even bother.
I think I got a lot out of doing postgrad. I finally did some real work/thinking and it gave me a lot more credibility when applying for certain jobs, has allowed me to easily get my current visa and most importantly, it gave me something to do when I was too ill to work full time after undergrad.
Freedom for the Northern Isles!

And my sig, too! The signature broke with the forum migration, and the avatar? Well, the user console had a 'remove avatar' button right next to the button for one of the settings/preferences pages. My mouse wheel is a little wonky, and I clicked it. No confirmation dialogue, and no backup of the image after my HDD died a few months ago.
I always kind of wanted a viking funeral, or a funeral pyre. Something about my body being cleansed by fire while people chant. I think thats the Denethor in me, I swear he told me he'd pull out in time.

I could definitely see doing something like this

how exactly would someone be helpful with that?
they require something
You can always fall back on Feeding 500. Or Abandoning 450.

I could do abandoning 450
feeding 500 looks to be a graduate level course
that'll have to be taught by someone with a PhD in the subject
*ahem* frosteey
But can you promise to behave when a nubile young woman says, "Is there anything I can do to raise my grade? Anything?"

It's not like "Bachelor's only better." A lot of people would be better off either getting a professional certification, or going straight to a PhD.

this is probably true
my graduate work changed me as a person and give me a lot more knowledge about my subject area
which has zero bearing on my actual job
and I don't know if it's helped me be more marketable than I would be with two additional years of work experience, or not
Yes. Even kids learn not to lie!
Yeah sweety its called pay better attention in class and actually get the concepts.
