Tenure
#advantage
Social, 5 points
You have a job from which you cannot normally be fired. You can only lose your job (and this trait) as the result of extraordinary misbehavior: assault, gross immorality, etc. Otherwise, your employment and salary are guaranteed for life. This is most common among modern-day university professors, but also applies to judges, priests, senators, etc. in many societies.
If Academic Rank exists and has real power, it may require Tenure. Not all Tenure is scholarly, though! In polities where certain officials are appointed for life, Tenure might represent office while Administrative Rank or Political Rank – sometimes informal, but never ignored – signifies relative standing, with most such people holding Rank 0.
