[quote=Anonymous]You just need to start networking in the private and gov't sectors to see what is out there. I'd reach out to folks for "informational interviews". Are you in the DC area? Have you explored policy/think tank type jobs. You are going to have to supervise (like the director of a program) to be over $100,000, but, these jobs are pretty easy to keep at 40ish hours per week (and there are definitely slow times, they feel pseudo-academic). You won't have to deal with teaching/grading. Most universities have really great benefits. Don't expect beltway bandits to provide the same level of benefits. My mom is a professor, and I think her job is pretty cushy, but I know from our chats dealing with students who have covid (and all the communication around it) has been very time consuming.[/quote]
