That's certainly not my only impetus for pursuing a Ph.D.

The quality and nature of the work and lifestyle is appealing to me.

OK, well I was just going on this:

"Well, the reason I'm going for the PhD is because I'd prefer not to do 8 to 5 for the rest of my life."

Lifestyle?

Like my opinion counts. But doing a Phd is a good thing, "period".
Pursuit of knowledge and all that.
Bravo!

Intellectual pursuit. Being able to easily take a few years off to raise infants. Frequent travel to South America. Aspects that aren't part of the WORK of being a professor, but beneficial elements of life afforded by being a professor.

So just curious, can you get me a green card and job servicing the lights in your building?

Soooooo boooored.

When they actually give me work to do it's fun and exciting and interesting, but for much of the day it's just CC... and pressing refresh on my personal email.

I could probably get you a job, but you'd have to move to Texas. But it's Austin, Texas, which is actually pretty great.

Now, how can I make doing nothing more entertaining?

Pity, because you'll never spell it right.

No, I've been on several projects where you sometimes do two days work a month if the material gets there.

I made a ring out of a stanless steel nut with some files and a drill. I calculated it and I was paid roughly around eight thousand dollars to make it.

I must admit Meggy may not be teachable, I've seen plenty of guys go nuts and most of them have to quit because they just can't switch to do nothing mode.
