<p>Thank you for saying so. </p>
<p>I concur that I think my CV is pretty darn good, if I don’t say so myself, heh heh. </p>

<p>I never said that these were “my methods”. I am simply saying that these are methods that have been used by other people. I am not recommending these methods. Nor am I recommending against these methods. I am simply offering facts. </p>
<p>Look, DSP, we all have the rights to our own opinions, but we don’t have the rights to our own facts. And the indisputable fact is, you can indeed get a tenure-track assistant professor job in math at a 4-year college with just a master’s degree. Just look at Colleen Ianuzzi. Look at Linley Kay Baker. They’re living proof. </p>
<p>Look, if you were to have taken the position that it is better to have gotten a PhD if you want a 4-year tenure-track job, I would have supported you. But what you said is that you can’t get such a job at all if you have only a master’s. That’s going too far. You can, and I’ve proved that you can. I don’t think it’s the best method. But it IS a method, whether we like it or not. It’s one thing to acknowledge that certain methods exist to accomplish a goal, and then recommend against certain methods. That’s perfectly fine. It’s quite another thing to deny that those other methods even exist. You didn’t need to go there.</p>
