There is some point in history of a profession where the people engaging in this profession begin to look and sound like a parody of it. When the stereotype (stuff of jokes) is status quo and any deviance or individualism is considered "not serious enough" or unprofessional. Why is that? Is that a thing of academia? Can we do something about it, or is it just the way it goes?

From there, to project management, and eventually to people management. I got sick of it and went back to being a regular worker. Oddly enough they were willing to promote me out of management, so I made out OK in the bargain.
