As an academic, if I could make $1M/year by showing my body on OF, I would quit my job in a heartbeat. I would make my money while I can and reassess when no one is interested anymore.
Once I’d made my money, maybe I could use my academic expertise to effect some real change in the world. I’d certainly be more capable of making an impact if I were independently wealthy.
Okay thanks for sharing with the world that you’re greedy and arrogant.
Why not just finish your degree and then model? If you’re already in a program that means you’ve completed all of the prerequisite education so it’s only whatever remains of the 3 years the program takes to finish, 4 maximum. You’re not going to age out of modelling in 2 years time.
Let’s be completely honest, if you dropped out in the middle of your PhD study to go earn money, you’re probably never going back.
On one hand: work long hours with little to no recognition, put up with the bullshit politics of academia, constantly worrying about job security due to grant-based funding, and all while struggling to make ends meet.
On the other hand: don’t struggle to make ends meet, deal with a lot less bullshit, job security.
I’d ask you how you don’t understand, but you thought someone else bringing up capitalism was unrelated, so it’s obviously a sad waste of my expensive fucks-to-give to try to educate you. Misplaced priorities? Sounds more like you have no clue what you are talking about.
What a sad waste of expensive education.
Why do people in academics want to pursue big money in the first place? Misplaced priorities.
