I was thinking of becoming a university professor. But I was deterred by the
thought of all those years as a lowly graduate student grading the work of
undergraduates. And then all those years clawing my way through the ranks of
academia and grading the work of graduate students. Then all those years of
publications and peer review. Endless grading, no end to grading. Can anyone
tell me if there is a golden path to excellence that short circuits all that
boring grading? Thanks in advance for the help.

Well, most people with brains build self-replicating machines,
GPS, self-assembling robots, holograms, optical computers, HDTV,
and on-line publishing
anymore.Since many of those universty jobs were invented to study
Precambrian weather than logic, science, or intelligence anyway.
