I had to laugh. Remember we posted about Outside Magazine’s best jobs? There were all sorts of
great occupations in the issue. From dolphin instructor to tea purveyor to ski instructor. It’s all about fashioning
something great out of the brief time you’re given here in the planet. Sucking the marrow out of life, to use one of
the odder turns of phrase.
Well, spin that notion 360 degrees. Or turn it on its ear.
Here is a job voted one
of the worst by Popular Science Magazine: biology professor in Kansas. I have no idea where you stand on the whole
intelligent design debate, but you have to admit it’s all gotten a wee bit odd…the poor religious folks are desperately
in need of credibility to keep their hopes alive, and have asked science for a hand. Sadly, science is looking at them
like the retarded children of unfamiliar neighbors…they just don’t want these people around.
No need to cast myself into the debate, but I did find the Popsci piece interesting, as I say, it reminded me of the
Outside piece.
