[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Salaries for faculty really vary by area and whether you have tenure or not.  When I was looking for a tenure-track position a few years ago, starting salaries in my area were around 60-70K depending on region.  (I've now left academia largely due to low salaries and cost of living with young kids, and my non-profit salary is double that). I know tenure-track professors at reputable universities in the area who walk dogs etc. for extra money, and others who have trouble paying for high-quality childcare.  Yes there are some fields that pay more (engineering, business, law), but also many that don't (social sciences, humanities, etc.).[/quote]

+1. Here is some more info, just food for thought. Humanities discipline. My friend who is full professor at Columbia, truly exceptional, 15 legitimate books in excellent presses, about 50 articles, has been chair, blah blah, makes $175k. Associate professor at GT going up for full at present, a couple books, a couple translations, many articles 89k. A young friend just offered an assistant professor position in similar humanities discipline at UC Berkeley $70k, $25k signing bonus, plus 8k in yearly research funds. [/quote]
