I know this is late...but while I hope John does get a high paying job, there is something about the academic environment that, if I may say, suits you John.

And just what is wrong with us public sector employees ( other than the fact that YOU pay our salaries) :)

  You go, boy!

  My only concern would be, would they pay you *enough*? I
  suspect you'd still get more in private industry--though you'd
  enjoy this a lot, and it might be the ideal way to ride out the
  recession until the right career job came along.

  Though . . . the last time I saw you working in private industry . . .
  why not hang onto this thing?--might be good.
