Career advise

As linked by Instapundit, career advise for newly minted PhDs.

5. Join the Army. You can be an officer, and you’re guaranteed to receive a monthly salary, good benefits, and great deals on car rentals for the rest of your life. The only risk is that you might get killed.

Not completely tongue-in-cheek advise. The Army needs good officers, as does the other branches of the military.

The only downside? You might get killed. Whereas in academia, they'll just bore you to death.
