We're lucky that our bodies require sleep, otherwise our cultures would have us working 16-20 hour days.

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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- 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.
Professor in 3rd world country. 😂
Welp. At least here, any gradschool tuition is possible to make living, unlike in North America or Europe. 😂
Thanks for sharing, seems Canadian standard is defer than US Standard. Thanks for clarification.
