As you know, my full-time job is being a brothel manager, but my passion is studying for a PhD in psychology. Recently, I was invited to a conference, where I presented on both my job and my research on sex work and brothel management.
I have to brag a little because I was treated almost like a superstar :))). Everyone seemed excited that I was the only one there with not only theoretical knowledge—which is the case for most people in academia—but also a strong practical business background.
However, I had a funny argument with one of the academics. She insisted that science is much more important and accused me of “selling out” to business, claiming I’d betrayed science and academia. She argued that my academic work is more important than my business role because science has a greater impact on society. I had to smile (secretly) at her naivety.
In the end, I asked her how many people actually read her last paper, which she’d worked on for over six months and published in a academic journal. She had to admit that it was probably about 30–40 people.
"Cool," I said, and showed her my IG, where I often post reels with information from my research, with an average reach of 20 million people. Now, who has the bigger impact, my dear?
I won by TKO :))
