My son wants to be a mathematician. I told him never go into academia because it's a pit of poisonous vipers, administrators and professors both. I'm going to send him this article to hopefully re-indoctrinate him in case he forgot my previous message.

Would you consider sending him the seemingly thousands of academics who aren't poisonous vipers who are quite happy to be in academia?
