I...EGF, do you mean the facetime/burnout argument?<br /><br />I'm an extrovert in the sense that I tend to be energized from being around people, though I tend to be a little slow to warm up to people that I don't know. And there are definitely some situations that don't energize me. I think I would generally enjoy being a SLAC professor, but if it got to feeling like I was always 'on' then I think I'd get worn out (or if I had to work insane hours to keep up with everything).Karinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757213778638431428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206220894855898230.post-35367890618811613732010-06-16T19:08:42.917-07:002010-06-16T19:08:42.917-07:00This is an argument in the SLAC/R1 debate that I h...This is an argument in the SLAC/R1 debate that I hadn't heard before. Very interesting!<br /><br />You've said before that you are a classic extrovert. Based on that, I can't see someone like you being happy long-term in a government lab or similar where you don't get to have lots of interactions with lots of different people. Maybe the demands at a SLAC that burn other out would actually be energizing for you?EcoGeoFemmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236907917990309659noreply@blogger.com
