I found your KZbin channel a year ago. I recently started listening more frequently. Keep the conversations going. Food for thought.

Here we have a business school professor COMPLAINING that business schools only reward their professors for their OUTPUT, not for all the long, hard hours expended to create those meager outputs. Does that remind you of anything? Such as: every employee of every free market capitalist business that I have ever known personally or heard of. Hey, professor! welcome to the actual real world. He actually, and unironically, compares his own situation to that of Wall Street or professional sports. Duh! He could have chosen to compare his experience teaching in business school to any other economic segment from software programming to farming. Does he truly believe that everybody else in the world has it easier, doesn't find their work challenging and difficult, whether because it demands creativity, strength, endurance or just plain tolerance of endless days of mindless boredom. And what is the opposite of the incentive system that appears to have failed this spectacularly uninsightful drone? The old slogan of communism comes to mind: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need." Is that the failed utopia he is blindly and ignorantly reaching for? If someone is that lacking in insight, introspection and self-awareness I tremble to think what his "research" might be like. No wonder the rewards aren't flowing his way. This is a woman in a man's body who should be working with three year olds in a day care creche, not trying to observe, divine and understand how people organize themselves into the difficult business of the means of production.

Interesting message eloquently said

I am listening 😊

The Master's degree is the best....great ROI...doctorate is a complete waste of money

<3

This was so perfect! I'm a 55 year old grad student who has not had to deal with institutional pettiness for a long time. So it really stuns me when I encounter it. Furthermore, it's usually coming from female professors who are much younger than me. I sometimes wonder if it's just a generational thing. Either way, as much as I know it has nothing to do with me, it still gets to me sometimes and I really needed to hear this. Thank you.

Need help as I am not coping at all .

The philosophy and neuroscience doctorates bear truth for their cultural ridicule and nerfed monetary potential. If someone TRULY is controversial in their critical thinking... They are both dangerous in the rhetorics market AND worthy of maintaining a heavy ideal better than romance and finances. David, if this has been hard for you, just know you are observed with at least SOME slowed down jugement and conditional love.

My thinking has been to strategize towards optimal academic freedom. Figure out what needs to be done to ensure I have the optimal time on tatget to work on my real interests and feel that I did work that was worth doing. Might not leas to the best CV, but will lead to work one can be proud of.

To expand, don't worry about the things you can't control. For example, "Shoot. I should have started earlier." Well, yes, maybe, but you can't control that now. You can't go backwards in time. Focus on what you can change now and moving forward

The only truth we as humams can underatand is in the context of "if/then", thus this circumstantial truth is not universal

What do you mean hard to find data? Please elaborate. I'm genuinely interested in pursuing a doctorate in Accounting

I go through this in my career in sales. I am actually very shy and some describe me as reserved yet I’ve done well in sales and it’s definitely due to authenticity and trust. I feel like the more you know and the more you see things as open ended and realize that more than one thing can be the right thing, and even the right thing can also be the wrong thing for someone else. It’s really hard to move forward in this world with complete confidence, as if the the nature of things is 100% solid ground. Maybe those that don’t lean into confidence against their nature do so because they see a bigger web of possibilities than most and understand the fluid nature of anything we call fact.

Best to keep your world manageable, as Aspies do not always realise that they are thinking of others more than themselves. this superhero" tendancy is not always appreciated, and besides be the best of yourself ;)

😊you were taught well David!!!!!🙏

Cheers 🎉for your courage. I know how hard is this journey. But....your courage will keep you on the right track always...even though how others judge you.

so what is the best way to make money if getting a doctorate is a waste of time?

❤️🇵🇰💙✔️

A little bit too ambiguous

Been watching this guy for several years. His messages usually hit the mark, but not this one. I'm not sure I agree with the premise, "stop caring and you'll love your job." Sometimes you just put one foot in front of another, and do the job, or you look elsewhere. Being a professor is tough, though, because not only do others evaluate you, but you have to self evaluate and tout your horn. Been there, done that. Glad I stuck it out and retired.

I didn't hate my job, but i eventually learned i was just another cog in their machinery...giving my best and getting indifference in return. Be grateful you learned the lesson sooner than later so that you can move forward to investing yourself into those things that bring you joy.

Sir, Can I suggest to grow Your KZbin channel?

Doesn't that feel great?! Freaking so happy for you.

Word salad dude.....simplify your message and stop the mental masturbation.

Thanks

Thank you very much for this beautiful video ❤

I'm 41 going back to school for dental hygiene in 2025. Cheers!

This applies to suicide as well, 😕 albeit at the extreme end of the distribution. When negative feedback accumulates, it can be hard to see past a fog of failures. I think that is precisely what makes academia one of the hardest career paths to choose (disregarding the lack of positions). People who do not learn how to handle such feedback and retain a solid sense of self, keeping their dream in the forefront of their mind, will be come insecure quite quickly. This creates quite a few issues for others and themselves… I struggle with depression and severe anxiety but I’m very fortunate to have a very strong will and dream. I’ve been abused for just about every year of my life and had to learn how to preserve my dreams at an early age… If there‘s anything I’ve learned in my intimate relationships with such people, both inside and outside academia, it’s that you cannot trust someone’s judgment just because you like them or have something you need. I’d go as far as to state that feedback is always inaccurate if you do not listen to it intentionally. Information goes through hundreds of layers of experiences, and therefore biases, before it can even be spoken… Everyone makes errors in judgment which are, at times, far more convenient for them than anyone they are speaking to. If you aren’t careful, you can absorb a lot of ‘feedback’ covertly designed to make you the pawn in someone else’s game of insecurity. It’s rare that such a negative perspective is worth a second of your time.

Thank you for channel. It is good support for those of us who go through difficult times in our research careers.

Very informative and really enjoyed this!

I am scared of the algorithem, this popped up to the exact perfect time... thank you, much love from Germany

Post hole diggers, Eeh……. Most couldn’t last 2 minutes in the real world

ALL the PhDs that I know are major in minor. Extremely knowledgeable in a really specific narrow particular field but massively dumb and clueless in any other general common sense knowledg

Correct! Many people want you to be other-determinate or other-self. NOT! youself and self-determinate! I just saw Blue LED researcher story; it is beautiful!

Completely true. Thanks David

Thank you 💛

I love this, I am most grateful for the autonomy my professor gives me. It gives me respect for the profession and my superiors.
