As Hugh Nibley said
"I am not permitted to discuss botany with anybody, at any time or place; it is not the jealousy of a reactionary society or the dictates of a narrow church that cramp my style—I just don’t happen to know anything about botany."

Gotcha. I agree that is a dumb opinion.

You know why? Because have had jobs that are a lot harder and more work than academia.

It’s true. There are a lot of masters programs that are a complete joke.
Punk Philosopher
4/19/19 1:44pm
You know why it isn’t that hard compared to some jobs? You have so little at stake.

You had a “thumbs up” until your last paragraph. That is not a “Mormon” issue.

Are you talking student or professor? Also, still very little at stake.

4/19/19 9:11pm
Ph.D. students play the role of professors in most programs
Punk Philosopher

It is not disparaging. You are a student. Once you leave and work for awhile get back to me.

Not true. Most masters programs are not about research.

4/19/19 12:54pm
Most academic-type masters programs involve writing a thesis, AFAIK.

And? It is a paper.
Baron
4/19/19 1:41pm
ha! Now we know you're trolling!
