Well it's nice to know that people have such high motivation for a
PhD.  You know, I'm disgusted with this whole discussion.  Did it ever
occur to you that there is more to life than money?  Did it ever occur
to you that perhaps people might teach for the love of teaching?  No,
it all comes down to money.  So that's why the education system is so
f*cked up today.  All you smart-a*s*s insist on getting huge salaries.
So the average school and university has to have below average 
instructors.  Oh but don't you worry.  No, you'll just send your kids
to private school.  Don't give a damn about the rest of the world.
