a lucrative profession

LUCRATIVE MONEYMAKING OPPORTUNITY

Lest any of you students think that there are no money making opportunities outside of academia, I would encourage you to consider writing a chapter for someone else’s book.

Just so you can see for yourselves just how lucrative this opportunity is, I’ve included an actual royalty cheque I’ve received from a chapter I wrote for a book called HUMAN COMMUNICATION.

And, there it was:

A cheque for a whole sixteen cents.

    My friend who has just graduated from an Ivy League university with a PhD just got a job (in research) that barely pays above the poverty line. He makes less than a thousand dollars too much to be considered for poverty housing.
