i had profs describe their jobs like living through groundhog day.

they'd show up drunk. lament about how they're wasting their lives with children. complain that they didn't have enough time for their work.

math probably self-selects for introverts, but it can't be much different than other fields.

this is a part of the reason why i'm an advocate of converting the university system into four extra years of high school, and leaving the universities as research institutions: to emancipate professors from the doldrums of teaching.

the most miserable people i've ever met are profs. you spend enough time around them, you learn the lesson: get out while you can.
