I've worked in academics and it just all seems miserable and only about the money and beuracracy.

I was putting together a research paper and a friend of mine whose a professor was telling me to try to monetize it rather than publish. Meanwhile I just wanted to see how things work and share it out.

So... "whose" is possessive and "who's" is the contraction you're looking for. 🤣 "Spelling error" much, doc? Better watch out. 😂🖖🏼

Never heard of that! I agree the bureaucracy can be horrible but there isn't much money to be had lol.
