Starting "real soon now", I'll be one of two UNIX System Administrators at Vassar College. I've been wanting to work there for a while now, actually --- I think Dave can attest to it being somewhere in the area of two years now that I've been asking him to find me a job there --- and I'm really looking forward to the benefits of working in an academic environment instead of the private sector.
That's not to say there aren't going to be some adjustments, especially in the area of income, but in the long-run it's the right thing to do.
so are you moving again? Or going to commute a few times a week and do most of your work from your fabulous Upper West Side townhouse?
welcome aboard! the adjustments definitely take time, especially on the financial end. the benefits are pretty sweet, too.
Congrats! I do hear academic gigs are good -all around- situations...
You're going to Vassar as I'm leaving... very interesting! So, I find this old link in my collection... good to see you still ranting after all these years. ;)
