Youngest Professor at Age 18

I was watching the news the other day and it was reported that Dr. Alia Sabur will become the youngest professor Konkuk University in Korea (her website: http://www.aliasabur.com/ ) at age 18. Man, can you imagine when you were 18? Hmm, 18 was the age I was worried about who should I bring to prom, what cars should I get, which CDs should I get... but this lady is already working as a professor?? So will she date seniors at the uni who is older than her? Hmmm.. tricky question. If she is like any normal gal, she will have crush on those hot guys in her class. She will have no choice but to give that guy an "A" in her subject. Well, maybe that's why she chose to go to Korea where the guys are not that good looking..well except the one you see on Korean drama but most are not that good looking. I mean when you have famous actors who look like this, what do you think the avg koreans will look like?













Besides, she probably has no chance against the korean girls anway...













Her story reminded me of another guy who graduated with a PhD at age 23 from Wharton Business School and became the youngest assistant professor at Singapore Management Uni with a reported salary of more than USD 100,000 per year. When some of my friends read this news earlier, they told me "He is probably some nerd who can't get chik during school so he put all his energy in studies". Well, from what I read, he is married as well! I even managed to find a pic of him online:




















What the hell? Is it fair? Good looking, good pay, got a wife, all at a young age? Well, that was not his real pic. I felt a bit better after looking at his real pic here though : http://www.smu.edu.sg/news_room/smu_in_the_news/2003/sources/ST_030720.pdf
Yeah, god is fair... you can't have everything... but still, damn, he is good.
