I decided to enter graduate school (PhD bound), initially, in the hopes
of getting long summer vacations. My understanding so far seems to
tell me that professors at teaching colleges are the only ones who get
summers off. It seems that the research professors have to stick around
during the summer to continue their funded research. I am curious to know
if it is possible or practical for a research professor to take
summers off to go fishing, kayaking, and rock climbing :-).
