From qatsi. I've done this before, but the sentence concerned was just too good to pass up on.

Instructions:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

"The lack of career opportunities for sociologists and other social scientists during the 1980s, combined with a massive expansion in business and management teaching, resulted in many students with postgraduate training in sociology and related dsciplines being forced to find work outside sociology departments."

From: Against Management, by Martin Parker.

Actually, what we all want with our philosophic poverty are state-sponsored meals at the local haute cuisine establishment, but we're not so fond of the trial and hemlock behind door number two, nor of the loaded dice.
