The bureaucracy is still the same, the endless meetings are still there, and so on and so forth. It made me wonder: if things are not changing, should I?<br /><br />And, then, a wonderful colleague of mine (whom I had a special affinity with as we interviewed on the same day and got on extremely well even though we were competing with each other) announced that he was leaving. Leaving the Uni and, probably, academia. Which made me wonder even more so...<br /><br />But, deep in my heart, I know that I do not want to leave academia. I just struggle with certain aspects of the job... but, then, every job has good parts and bad parts. And it is up to me to make sure that the good ones outweigh the bad ones.
