I actually did have one student who told me up from that he just wanted to get a PhD as fast as possible and then go to Wall Street. I made it my top priority to help him write a strong dissertation in the fewest number of semesters possible. It's only in hindsight that I question whether I should have prioritized differently. I've also had two students write good-to-great dissertations and then unexpectedly (to me) leave academia. I appreciate your suggestion to consider spending less time on students in general. I need to think through the pros and cons. | |
