<p>Don't need to do the math.</p>

<p>Prison guard has to be one of the most difficult and thankless jobs imaginable, and I know that I don't have the mental or emotional stamina to deal with it.  (I really thought about doing becoming a guard.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My other problem is I am a soft touch and am easily conned.  I don't think prison is the place for me.  On either side of the bars.</p>

<p>If it was about money I'd be doing something else and I probably wouldn't have gone to grad school.  Sometimes I think a degree from an ivy league school is over rated, but it would have been great to rub shoulders with some of those great minds. <br>

<p>i am to much of a softee to be a prison guard.</p>

? Hard to answer, is the Harvard grad employed?<br><br>
Honestly, I'd probably take the prison job over most positions a Harvard grad is doing, only because I am assuming that the guard is 8 hours of stress and if the Harvard grad is a COO or CEO...is 8+ hours of stress. As a guard your life is at stake, but no one is actually targeting you. My BIL was a COO and during labor negotiations, he was getting tires slashed, his office broken into, death threats, etc. No thanks.

Harvard has a well regarded Landscape Architecture program.  Nobody hates Landscape Architects.   <br>

<p>I was in the LA program for a time at UGA and had a professor who was a bastard. Aside from that, though, I can't disagree. <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130471186734815"><img alt="wink.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_130471186734814" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span><br><br>
