    i was over in the uk in the mid 2010s and was idiotic enough to do a postdoc, at somewhere supposedly prestigious. the guy at the bank when i was sorting out bankcards literally laughed at me when he saw how little i was making for it. and the guy paying me openly stated that he would pay less if he could.

    yeah fuck modern academia
