But this is completely crazy! That way my advisor would be a complete
failure, since only 2 out of 10 students of his so far remained in
academic science. All the others got well-paying jobs in industry which
they are happy in. I would rather call it a success, because 2 out of 10
students may actually find academic positions in the long run as well,
while all 10 would never be able to do so (assuming that for every advisor
things would go like this). Do these people know nothing about growth
processes???!!!!

chapter in her thesis, and thus adds her 0.02$ to nearly everything
