A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

As a grad student mostly. That said, non-tenured professors also have to work their asses off. The ~~pyramid scheme~~ dream is becoming tenured and having a large pool of grad students ~~to abuse~~ help you with your work.
I'm not sure how you feel about the limiting thing, but it is controversial in the US. Some departments do limit, others feel that isn't fair. Personally, I think we should understand why the academia system is set up the way it is and ask if it makes sense in the modern world.
