Talking about schmucks who have tenure....
Il Professore, have you ever thought about getting into quantitative research at a financial firm like some of the other esteemed academics?

Re: Talking about schmucks who have tenure....
Schmuck or shmuck in American English is a pejorative meaning an obnoxious, contemptible or detestable person, or one who is stupid or foolish. The word entered English from Yiddish, where it has similar pejorative meanings, but its original meaning in Yiddish is penis.[1][2] Because of its vulgarity,[3] the word is euphemized as schmoe, which was the source of Al Capp's cartoon strip creature the shmoo.[4] Variants include schmo and shmo.
In Jewish homes, the word was "regarded as so vulgar as to be taboo."[5] Lenny Bruce, a Jewish standup comedian, wrote that the use of the word during his performances in 1962 led to his arrest on the West Coast "by a Yiddish undercover agent who had been placed in the club several nights running to determine if [his] use of Yiddish terms was a cover for profanity."[6]

This must be a classic Hellcat gambit. To understand it, first some definition:
schmuck
/SHmək/
Noun
A foolish or contemptible person.
The idea is to ask an ostensibly serious question and hope the moniker 'schmuck' will then become a self-admission when the Professor replies.
What a goy schmuck!!!

The professor is a grown up man. He knows what he is doing. And he must have his own reasons for making his life choices.
Why ask?

New Miranda for you:
"Any self deprecating humor you deploy, can and will be used by the most petty people with an Excel sheet noting down everything you say."

He would rather be a schmuck than a Wall-Street Looter.
