Academia

Arnold Kling discusses academia.

One has to define success before he can achieve it.

Bitterness has destroyed many men. I have to do what I care about, what I am passionate about. There is no other way.

Now I have to discover what I care and am passionate about. Working on my resume has helped me realize this.

I am starting to understand that a resume is just as much about the future as it is the past.

I think that the ego treadmill is a great metaphor. If we could worry about prestige less and worry about innovation more I think we'd all be better off. But if we didn't have delusions of granduer we probably wouldn't have gotten PhDs...
