Relocated to another university after getting the phd, madly writing grant applications during 80% of her waking hours and trying to do research the other 20%.

A lot of the so-called "geniuses" are unable to compete with someone like you. You were successful because of your work ethic. Many of the kids at the front of the big bus (using your analogy) lack that effort. I've known many people much smarter than I who dropped out of their PhD programs for their inability to finish their contribution to the heap of knowledge. <BR/><BR/>Also, once I was able to travel amongst faculty as a "colleague" (I would say an equal, but junior faculty are not equals), I learned that many (not all) of the stars were not the so called geniuses. Rather, they were hardworkers who earned their bones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2527913791294258201.post-39694612125952443612008-09-27T13:51:00.000-07:002008-09-27T13:51:00.000-07:00F-in Belgians!
