  • I apologize for starting this discussion, but it is quite interesting.

    I feel i must add my anecdotal testimony. I’ve gotten the opportunity to teach high school for a few years, my mom was a grade school teacher her entire career, and my grandparents owned a preschool when i was a kid. So I have gotten to know a lot of teachers from every level of education. I also spent far too many years earning my degree while transferring amongst 3 different schools.

    I can’t say that i have encountered a single teacher that really concerns me of being a psychopath. I am not a psychologist, and I’m sure it can be well hidden. But in my experience, teachers only become teachers because they really care and want to help other people.

    Regardless, this discussion is purely hypothetical. Unless we want to start a national registry for psychopaths/sociopaths.


















  • What your PhD proves is that you have an ability to learn, understand and communicate, and THAT is what employers are looking for.

    Yes! It also shows the ability of straight hard work. It’s easy to come out of college with a degree or two and not learn this. I’ve only got a BA in math so i have no idea what it takes, but i would imagine earning a PhD is on a different level of work ethic.
