First, spend a semester teaching intro comp. Then you can write about the “cushy” life of a college professor.

Gawker is on the story.

“Even when school is in session they don’t spend too many hours in the classroom. For tenure-track professors, there is some pressure to publish books and articles, but deadlines are few. Working conditions tend to be cozy and civilized and there are minimal travel demands, except perhaps a non-mandatory conference or two.”

That’s all?  Apparently papers grade themselves.

Also,  safe and low-stress ?  Sure, until the Entitled Genius who has Gone off his (or her)  Meds blows a gasket.
