Do you actually know any college professors? Because I do. And I can't remember any of them as being failures. They were witty, and well educated, took fabulous vacations in the summer months, raised fairly successful children, and seemed to have a blast. Of course I am speaking from my actual experience, rather than just bullshitting.

Most college professors are highly intelligent failures. If they were, which they aren't, it would still be better than being what you are--a highly stupid failure.

Most college professors are highly intelligent failures. I noticed that one myself, and I have to wonder how you define "failure". My father was a professor; he worked very reasonable hours, had long vacations, enjoyed his work, got huge amounts of positive feedback from his students, earned quite decent money, and generally had a hell of a good time. If this is failure, I wouldn't mind a bit of it for myself. There were pompous oafs around the faculty, but there are as many or more in the average corporate boardroom.
