I'm sorry, anybody who spends 10 years in a PhD program is either incredibly lazy, or incredibly incompetent, being kept around for

1. cheap lab work
2. cheap lecturing in undergraduate classes that nobody with a PhD wants to teach

in any case, given some of your responses to this list, I'd argue Joe you're losing more people than you're trying to convert. Maybe next time you should try PR or advertising. Then you might learn how to get your point across.

regards.
