Not only is Snopes a well-known liberal website, according to the guy I know who often cites the Center For Western Journalism*, Wikipedia also has a clear bias.

Question for those teaching college (for a character):
If I have a 33 or 34-year-old guy who's a chemist, and I want him teaching at the college level, what kind of degrees does he need to have? Is that too young to be teaching college? Or would it make more sense to have him in a research department?

Amy - could he be a TA, second year into a PhD, someone who decided to go back to get his degree a little late?
so much ma for your sister, Burrell.

People teaching college-level chemistry usually either have a PhD in chemistry or are graduate students studying for a PhD in chemistry. It's certainly possible to have a PhD in chemistry at 28, but it's also possible to still be a PhD student in early one's 30s. If he had a PhD, he could be an instructor (has a PhD, not tenure-track), an assistant professor (first tier of tenure track), or if he's a rock star he could be an associate professor already (tenured, usually starting 5-7 years after the PhD).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

He would.

Did not take lunch today, ate at my desk and kept working, never left the trailer, and am working again at home. This is not what I am looking for in a job.

Burrell, I wish for all the best for your sister.
Amy, he could easily be a doctor at 33/34. He probably wouldn't be tenured, but teaching...yeah.
ION, DH's work has tomorrow off, whether or not the government shutdown goes through, and then he has 4 weeks of vaca accrued if it does. We are...nervous. Our finances are already in the toilet. Stupid pigfuckers.

Can he be working full-time while studying for his PhD? Like, in a lab or something?
Is it unrealistic to have him already PhD'd at 33 or 34 and working as an instructor? And if he is doing that, how come he can't be tenure track?

Plei! I was totally thinking of you this morning (but I'm too forgetful to think of the context). I think it was to wonder how you and your family were doing. It was related to a Prius and how you said you would like a Prius if only it fit a jogging stroller. God. How long ago was that?!
