The options available for a specialist in India today can be broadly divided into joining a public teaching institution in the capacity of lecturer or higher, freelancing, and taking up a full-time corporate position. Whereas public teaching institutions have an abundance of academics, skill and mastery development potential, corporate positions and freelancing offer better monetary stability. From an ideal blend of both systems, stems the honorary system. This article elaborates on and exemplifies the same with several doyens who have been involved, and have been a product of the honorable “honorary system.”
