yes. no one with a phd is interested in teaching k-12, for example. hell, no one with a phd is really interested in teaching, most of the high-status seekers seek to be pure researchers. something approching 70% of teaching even at universities in the usa is done by non-tenured staff. Faux science would say that avoiding science is an evolutionary response to optimize mate selection. etc.
- eli_gottlieb 13y agoI'm a graduate student in CS myself, and I'd be perfectly happy to earn a salary at a job consisting primarily of teaching. That leaves much more freedom for me to practice hobbies and do research, compared to competing in today's field of full-time researchers for jobs and grants.

- 001sky 13y agoThere's idiomatic phrase/s in english. For example, the exception proves the rule. Not everybody is a somebody. etc. So the purpose of the phrase is not merely (self) evidentiary, but rhethorical. As I am sure you have surmised.
