In the private sector now, I taught specialty engineering subjects at the University level for 8 years.

My fellow professors didn’t really know how to handle me. Not only was I a conservative, but I consciously treated their sacred cows with the contempt they deserved. What possibly can an engineer have in common with a women’s-studies professor with a peace sign tattoo’d on her wrinkled butt.

My top students regularly got 2 times the salary of the average tenured soft-studies instructors after graduation. To get me, they paid me more at the time than the University President.

It was so freakin’ unfair…from their point of view anyway. Seeing that the school was buying me only temporarily, I could care less and showed it.
