I sat next an econometrics professor on the flight from <a href="/daze/99/05/08/amairport.html">amsterdam</a> to <a href="/daze/99/05/08/detroit.html">detroit</a><br>
(econometrics: "optimization within constraints")<p>

he said:<br>
after my <A href="/share/teach/">tales of teaching</a><p>

get your PhD:<br>
"your meal ticket and union card for academia"<p>

he recommended <u>Snapshots from Hell</u><br>
about <a href="http://www.freedonia.com/~carl/">a writer with friends getting rich</a><br>
so the writer decides to get an MBA<br>
this is his story.<p
