Yes, very happy working in an academic environment. When I was young (in middle/high school) I was attracted to academic environment, particularly philosophy, social science and arts. When I had some courses in anthropology (University/undergrad) I changed my orientation from philosophers' thoughts to ordinary people's own thoughts. For example, the title of my PhD. was/is "Patterns of Thought and Worldviews of Rural Egyptians: An Anthropological Study". It is really interesting to see how ordinary people (even illiterate) construct their own philosophy, wisdom or worldviews impacted by many factors such as religion, heritage, local culture, history, geography/location, and memory, among other things. It is a pleasure (academically and intellectually) to continue investigating the power of imagination and creativity of the grassroots (from the bottom/folk not just from the top/elite).
Yes, I am! It is the perfect profession where you can combine your academic, research, and clinical expertise and develop your skills as an evidence-based practitioner.
Dear El-Sayed El-Aswad, Joshua O. Ighalo, Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak, Andrey Skorobogatov and Carine Temegne Nono thanks for your answers and sharing opinions.
it is more important and a good place to work in academic environnemt. however, to be more rentable, it is better when the environement is favorable (equipement, logistics, books, etc.
I am quite happy with my academic environment. If by good fortune i am promoted, I would definitely try to increase the focus on research, both by the students and staff members.
By and large academics is a good environment. Politics is present everywhere. If you can stay out of its midst and not be bogged down by the rat race then you will succeed
Notably, working in academic environment is a blessing because one's mind is focused on the unique domains of teaching and researching. If my authority and responsibilities got higher, I would make sure that those involved in such an environment are treated with respect and their activities are assessed fairly.
I was fortunate, almost from the beginning of my incorporation into the world of work, to develop my work in the academic environment of the University. The academic activity understood as a research-teaching binomial, is creative, has the dimension of service, makes you feel free, if you want you can always configure a new horizon, it allows you to be in touch with new generations and most current trends, . .. I really feel very good with my work.
