A new career?

I spent most of Thursday and Friday at Victoria University's annual NZ Political Science Association conference and after that I've decided I want to be an academic.

I figure all you need to be able to do is;
1. Never hold a job in the real world, but always act as though you have.
2. Say really really obvious things over and over.
3. Speak for 20 minutes longer than you are supposed to.
4. Throw in a few sarcastic comments about 'politicians' everytime you speak, and of course
5. Always present yourself as an "expert" despite never having ever worked in a job related to your field of 'expertise'.

Simple.

sounds like a good idea. Remember, I can talk about myself no problems!
