I wonder whether several thousand camera flashes per hour might degrade the art work?

As a doctor, Cora? Guess there's a ton of qualifications needed for that role. Is there anything you could fit in whilst learning?

I’ve finished my doctorate, as of June(I’m one of those scummy humanities doctors, not a medical doctor ). But now, with a doctorate in one of the more acceptable humanities/social sciences under my belt and four years of experience teaching varied subjects within my field, marking essays and exams, teaching students from first year to honours, there’s nary a sniff of a job.
I need publications to bolster my CV, but I also need to work 35 hours a week in a call centre to make ends meet, while preparing classes and lectures for the classes I do have, applying for anything that does come up, studying to become a fellow of the Higher Education Academy, applying for grants that I’m already at a disadvantage for getting as a formerly self-funded, non-affiliated graduate, attending conferences around the UK at weekends when I can afford to, etc.
I make it sound a lot grimmer than it is, of course, when I go on a woe-is-me rant. I think I’m just getting frustrated that I spent ten years trying to get the damn doctorate, and don’t even have a job to show for it 4-5 months after finishing.

You should've stayed in academia.
“There is no God.” That’s the conclusion of the celebrated physicist Stephen Hawking, whose final book published Tuesday. Hawking, who died in March at the age of 76, left his readers with a few other bombshells, including the belief that alien life is out there, artificial intelligence could outsmart humans, and time travel can’t be ruled out. Hawking is pictured above in 2013.
Didn't believe in god? Boy I bet he's regretting that right now.
"There is no Steven Hawking" - God
Feels bad man, he is probably burning.
He thought he was uncomfortable in this lifetime.
Why are all the Christians making fun of him because he's now "burning in hell"? This is why I can't stand religious people. You claim your religion will bring happiness and peace and love but your actions and character are the exact opposite. You can't change everyone. You can still be a good person without God, and Hawking has contributed more to the human race than these Christians ever will but simply because he didn't think the same way as them they curse him to hell. Also, he's dead. You don't know if he's just nothing or if there is a afterlife. Why do people focus so much on what comes after life??? Focus on the life you have now. Ugh.
