I haven't been looking for an academic job for a while. I have heard about ND, but it didn't really sink in until you mentioned it. I'll see what they have there. I'll look into Australia. I appreciate your help.

I thought before you said you were a hotel manager of some sort (I might be confusing you with Mentifex). Anyway, trying to find a job in academia is probably pointless despite a phd. You need to set your sights lower, in jobs where there are vacancies. I hear North Dakota is having trouble attracting people despite the job offers. You might be too old to qualify for their guest worker program, but the <a href="http://lesswrong.com/lw/43m/optimal_employment/" rel="nofollow">Australian outback</a> is similar, hiring anybody with a pulse despite a complete lack of experience, paying highly and providing room/board.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
