Last Fall I went to three PhD dates and it was awful. They were all nice but SO socially inept and kinda a big bummer. And ever since I started considering getting a PhD, I've been looking at my professors in a new light thinking about what it would be like to be their friend/colleague.<br /><br />If you have a PhD, you've spent most of your life in school -- if they went straight through -- they've spent all of their life in the ivory tower. This can result in having little real world experience and ALWAYS being an authority of some kind.<br /><br />This leads to some simple minded arrogance. <br /><br />If/when I get a PhD, I will be 40 and I know that I won't really belong to the clique. <br /><br />There are some really awesome PhDs. Special K (do you read her blog?) is one and then one of the Onelys has either a PhD or MFA.<br /><br />But STILL. I know exactly what you are talking about -- an inability to talk about normal things or relate to anything outside of intellectulaism.The Singlutionaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199194725578216599noreply@blogger.com
