ReplyDeleteClearly, you are doing it wrong!
ReplyDeleteYou can't spend your morning shopping if you have to do boring research. What you do is figure out what your bosses want and give them that and slither your way to an easy six figure salary.
ReplyDelete"The politicization of the humanities was well under way when I was an English major in the early 1990s, and my education suffered as a result. This wasn't because I was so oppressed as a conservative, but because in roughly half my classes, there was no easier route to an A than to argue that some long-dead author was a sexist pig, racist cretin or homophobic jerk. Being, like so many college students, not overfond of unnecessary labor, I’m afraid I all too frequently slithered along the easy path to the 4.0." http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2016-04-01/the-real-victims-of-political-bias-on-campus
Megan considers study and taking her education serious enough to put an effort into well thought university-level output to be "unnecessary labor." Lucky her, she segued that into a lucrative career.
ReplyDelete6. If any US entities are implicated by the Panama Papers, scribble a follow-up to remind readers that they are "different" in that they are merely protecting their booty from the evil plunderers that are the IRS and all the "wealth-redistributing" moochers who are trying to bring down the one uncorrupted capitalist society in the Universe.
