[quote=Anonymous]Hi there. I too was a science professor, tenure track and would have gotten tenure easily. I left, went to a federal administrative role, and suddenly I had all this free time. I then went to industry and it was also way less work than my academic job and paid more. I’d say get out—in some cases you’ll exchange job security for career security because with the right sorts of industry experience, even if you get laid off you’ll probably be able to find other jobs.[/quote]
