[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did a research experience in a summer program in high school. It's a great way to build a pipeline of future scientists.

It's a shame that some professors, who have a cushy taxpayer funded jobs, are so selfish.
You should be creating more programs to expose more high schoolers to research, not just the ones whose parents prepped them into TJ and SMACS.

I am a prof at a private institution. Most higher ed institutions are private.

I had my salary cut during the pandemic. 
My retirement contributions were stopped for two years. 
I make under 80K a year, and that includes overloads, grant funding, and other extras that are not part of my salary. 
I work my ass off. Even the summer, all 12 months. 
Cushy, it is not.

18 million people got laid off during Covid. You kept your job. You probably got to work from home. You still have tenure or are on track for it. Quit crying for sympathy.[/quote]

Why are you so angry, PP?[/quote]
