Just for the record, although I wouldn't want to disrupt the happiest man in
the world (based on a criteria of ignorance being bliss),  grantwriters
don't necessarily write federal grants, tons of money is sitting around not
being claimed from the private sector.  Half the time spent putting a grant
together takes field work, very little actual writing is required as they
are boiler plates, I've never not gotten a grant funded and my average to
date is $330,000.  And a lot of them require matching funds which requires
putting on fundraisers, which again, isn't something you do sitting on your
butt.

Sitting on their thinking end is what supposed math instructors do that
can't teach and thus must get out of the profession.  That is if they ever
were anything but a teacher's assistant that graded papers.

Lynda, who hasn't written grants as a profession for years but does donate
her time to worthy causes and individuals who need help.
