Recently, I had some conversations on Instagram that compared academia to religious cults.
It got me thinking about my own religious upbringing in Christianity and the Christian religious concept of a sacred cow (or false god).
What academic sacred cows do you worship? Are they keeping you from pursuing a career in industry?
Here are the four I could think of:
- Knowledge (the love of)
- Fame & notoriety
- Power/influence
- Impact
In this episode, I discuss each academic ideal, how it might prevent you from pursuing a career in industry, and the antidote that I think should be applied if one of these four keeps your from exiting your time in academia.
