The postmodern career landscape and the intentions of academic entrepreneurs has probably created enough doubts regarding the statement. More than anything the doubts are whether we should even bother about such seemingly grandiose statements when you have “real” issues in life to bother about.

It is not about a driver getting a PhD and becoming a lecturer that is important. Being able to do this or constantly trying to something like this, is, in my humble opinion a moral responsibility of anyone earning her meal as a “teacher”.

I am sure most of the “realists” and “mature” teachers might consider this an idealistic rant and I take it as a compliment!
