Santa is really an academic
 

Proof Santa Is An Academic


1. You never actually see Santa, only his "assistants."
2. Santa keeps his job until he decides to retire.
3. Santa doesn't really do the work; he directs a bunch of helpers
to do all his work for him, but he's the one who everybody
credits with the work.
4. Santa doesn't work anywhere near a 40 hour week.
5. Santa travels a lot.

Conclusion
Santa is obviously a senior faculty member with tenure!

Or...
A CEO.
Think about it...
He's obviously outsourcing North Pole jobs to Asia, as almost every toy he brings has "Made In China" plastered on it, somewhere.
To be fair though, I'd have to see his year end bonus, vesus that of his underlings.
