[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the reality of being an assistant / associate professor at a University? I see a lot of various postings. All I remember in college is meeting once a week for lecture and group activities. Is it cutthroat? It is good for an extroverted introvert?[/quote] At the end of the 1980s, it was pretty good. You had to publish or perish to make tenure, but it was a chill lifestyle after that. Buy an old fixer upper, work on it all summer. You could even have a SAH spouse and vacation abroad. Now: It doesn’t pay enough to support a single adult comfortably and save for retirement. Students expect nothing less than an A. [/quote]
