A few years ago, my youngest son achieved the nearly impossible dream of being hired as an Assistant Professor in Philosophy at a *very* prestigious university (often ranked the top university in the world). Well, now he has done something even more unbelievable... he has been named to an endowed chair at that university. That's an extremely high honor. I've been in the academic world my whole adult life and I've never heard of *anyone* getting an endowed chair this early in his/her career. I guess he's pretty good...
BTW, he's also a pretty good guitar player. He gigged all the way through his undergraduate and graduate programs and made enough money from it that he never spent the money he received as a Research/Teaching Assistant in grad school.
