12 Things I Learned About Academia from Google Suggestions

1. University is free in Germany, but elsewhere it’s just business. It is also like riding a bike.

1. Academia is a pointless, broken cult.

1. There are many misconceptions about us academics. We are often happy, but not always. We are rarely important, and never well paid!

1. We are many things:

1. We are not the problem…

1. …but we aren’t everything either.

1. Economics students are promiscuous and selfish.

1. History students are just promiscuous.

1. As for law students, well…

1. A PhD can be problematic, unless it is in dance.

1. Don’t expect to much help from your professor…

1. …nor from the hot-but-lazy TA.

Many questions remain.
