An Academic Career

 Good morning from Linden, Guyana!

There are more and more stories of people leaving academia (an example is below - from the public LinkedIn profile of A. Ruba, PhD). It makes you want to look into people's motivations as well as issues. I think it means that anyone planning to enter academia needs to really want that career and know that it is best for them. They need to understand that they can be successful in the career even though others have had problems. 

This reminds me of the motivation design card I prepared when I was at Northcentral U (now National University). I was motivated by successful professors and academic jobs I wanted to fill. There are a lot of successful professors to look up to! Link to the design card: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2022/09/renowned-usability-expert.html.
