My intern finished his employment with us. One of my bosses was so
happy with our work that he offered the student a casual employment,
one day a week. The project would be formulated by me and would be done
under my supervision. The student said it would take too much time from
him. I wonder what is going on ? These are very good money. When _I_
was undergraduate student, I would kill for an opportunity to work one
day a week and do what I liked to do and get a good pay. This is is a
Y-Gen'er. He does not care about money. He needs a perfect fit of the
job with his plans. Where the society is going to. I am starting to
feel that I would like to bring an immigrant student from overseas...
he will be doing stuff without complaining or without looking for
better fit between the job and his private life. He will not have a
private life... hur-hur-hur...


I always have been surprised what a good nose the young generation has
on this sort of things. They feel where the opportunities are and go
for them. I don't think they deserve the blame. What has happened to
their parents tells that the hard work is the worst road to prosperity.
In science in particular. Academic establishment has to embellish the
situation and manipulate the facts to attract the youngsters. Even with
that shameless propaganda they have difficulties.

If you look back at the golden years of physics, it was more like a
cultural phenomenon rather than the work per se. It was a way of life.
Aristocracy of spirit. Nothing even close to the portrait of enslaved
postdoc on the verge of starvation.
