[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My academic job search was also constrained by my husband's pediatric specialty job, which means that we needed to look in cities with children's hospitals (or within a reasonable commuting distance).

I'm surprised you guys haven't had a frank discussion about this yet--this needs to happen so you're both on the same page re: where he applies.[/quote]

We have had many conversations about this and that's why it's so frustrating. He keeps flip flopping about what he wants. [b]His friend recently accepted a 100k assistant professo[/b]r position in Tennessee. He's been looking for similar jobs ever since he found about his friends position. [/quote]

WOW! that is a real good salary from what I understand. One of my good friends graduated with a phd in chemistry and took a position at MIT and it was for only 33K. That was in 1999... but still... even accounting for inflation 100K is good. Is there more of a demand for statisticians than chemists? My graduate professor was earning only 92K at the end of his tenured career as an Elec. Eng. professor at at a top 3 engineering school in 1998. He was able to "bonus" himself up to 20% of any grant money that he brought into the department so that helped... but again... 100K starting out in academia is good.  Why are you being so down on him?[/quote]
