Sounds like a wonderful job. I'm off with my PhD to get that 2.4 million while I can.

Yes, but as many have pointed out, someone will actually take this job.

I'm going to get my fake Ph.D and sealed transcript to take this fake job.

I actually have a few good friends who work at that university and it isn't as bad as it sounds. When I saw the advertisement, I wondered how they made a decent job sound so bad! Some of the people at that uni have been there for 5 or 10 years so that says something.

In reality, most of the professors get at least a month off in winter and in summer. Most of them get closer to 2 months off.

As far as I know, everyone signs a one-year contract. Maybe it is changing.

Weird! I feel confused about the whole thing.

[Pak Yu Man]

I know about that place.
It's not as bad as it sounds. The vacations are minimum weeks. They get a lot more than that. At least from what the guy I met said.

whine all you want...it's way better than a hakwon.
