Nerd News: 100 Reasons Not to Go to Graduate School

Apparently there is an actual blog called "100 Reasons Not to Go to Graduate School."   Uh-oh!  The latest post made me laugh in that "you laugh because it's true" kind of way.  The complete list (so far) makes for an interesting read, though of course you and I won't agree with that blogger on all points.  He should add, though, a reason that basically says "sometimes in grad school/academia you run into truly horrible human beings who will try to sabotage, degrade, and in all ways destroy you ... or stand aside and watch while others try."  Of course, you will run into some wonderful people too.  I've run into more wonderful individuals than total monsters, but I've been lucky!
