Default What kind of hard work is required to become a full university professor?

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.


Obviously, you have no intention of working at all.

The above exchange is one sock puppet talking to himself.
