Academia vs. consulting is a false choice. If you're truly one of of the 'best and brightest', why not take the advantages of academia (short hours, decent pay, research opps, etc) and supplement them w/ the advantages of free-lance consulting. All of my bschool profs consult part-time and make 100%+ of their prof pay doing it. Best of both worlds! That is, assuming you're *truly* one of the best and brightest.
So I too question the quality of PhDs who go into consulting. Don't know much about law, but I also definitely question the quality of JDs who go into MC. |

Dude, what is your motivation for the post? Obviously you have absolutely no knowledge about the PhD programs in top engineering and science schools, but yet you make a retard generalization about the entire APDs who go into consulting based on your narrow observation on b-school professors. Do you think every grad students get stoked about the prospects of being a professor? How about you? Did you get excited about your chemistry professor in college and thought, ??man, I wish I had my professor??s job. That will be so cool~??
Some grad students want to pursue academia because it fits them and some prefer the industry. Some students who go to industry come back as professors later on in their career--this happens quite often in top engineering schools. And some students who are in industry desires to start their own firms or do management track rather than research.
Why are you repeating the same dumb line about short working hours for professors as the previous retard said? They don??t work short hours.
