Philosophy professor-aspie friendly job?

Post Reply New Topic

I remember every professor i had for philosophy was quirky and eccentric. In fact I remember one in particular (a very esteemed and distinguished professor) who even made tourettes-like tics during lessons.


Seeing as philosophy doesn't involve anyting really "hands on" therefore no possibility for clumsiness(its 99% thinking, argument and logic), and fosters ones 'special interest', along with the behavioural permissibility that comes along with university related employment, could this be an ideal job?

The only downside i see is the public speaking.

I think you'll find that fear of speaking to groups - no matter the size or cohesiveness - amounts to roughly zilch in the face of what most of us fear on a daily basis. Right now, for reasons I don't feel like mentioning in the slightest, I fear eating breakfast too late! You can check my recent posts if you need some clarification, but take me at my word I'm in the middle of a very difficult all-nighter. My easier ones are usually consumed all but entirely by the delicious ramblings of my esteemed friends.

edit: easy enough, this link should explain me quite neatly: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp5548750.html#5548750
