[quote=Anonymous]My husband is a postdoc with a PhD and 5 years of postdoctoral experience. He's turning 40 this year. He just got a raise to $60k. (Before you say "if he were good he'd be a professor by now," he hasn't been able to pursue job opportunities outside the DC area since we have kids and can't give up my salary.) I'm almost sure he can make more in government or industry, as I and all of our friends who have left academia do, but he loves it. And that's how jobs get away with paying people less than other jobs with a lot less education and experience required. There are intangible tradeoffs like "passion" and "prestige." It's a little more complicated than just "more skills = more money." [/quote]
