For all those "trapped" on the academic treadmill, take heart.

Once you've been caught in the rather more insidious honeytrap of industry (which may seem to offer enough money to anesthetize yourself in return for what takes out of you... at the cost of, if not outright controlling, severely warping the horizons of what you'll be learning) -- the drudgery of the ivory tower, if still not automatically worth the negative tradeoffs -- definitely merits a second look.
