True - so horribly horribly true......

Yep, it gets tough. Though, it should be more bell-shaped. You do hit a point where it gets easier. You tell someone, "I'm a professor" (after you give up explaining the nuances of assistant, associate and full professor) and they ask, "Oh, what do you teach," and then I just name a class I teach. The roughest are the post-doc years. It's hard enough explaining why you already have a Ph.D. but don't have a real job yet and still need more training.

When I saw this comic, I realized that my response to my brother and father should have been "Can I get someone a beer?"

Now there's a good strategy.

Yep, I'll have to remember that.

Now that's thinking.

This whole PHD comic idea reminds me of a funny quote:

"Grad school is the snooze button on the clock radio of life."
