Why do these teachers take on such a life? You could say that the long-timers were fooled, they are now in too deep, and can't start a new career, but those deciding whether to do a PhD must know what they are facing, no? This sort of article has been going around for many years.

When I was at IBM around 2010, they offered $250 for filing patent, then $750 when the patent office approved it, usually after 3-8 years -- if you were still at IBM.

Even the recycled wastewater is potable, but it is use for agriculture to satisfy people's sensibilities.
