[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]EAs are underpaid.

It's amazing how departments would absolutely blow up of it weren't for admin staff and EAs.  Senior staff are clueless trying to arrange flights, optimal travel, hotels, dealing with Visa requirements, arranging schedules, paying for things, making reservations for restaurants with important clients, etc.  absolutely nothing would function without good EAs.  A good EA is worth their weight in gold. [/quote]

Worth a higher salary than a doctor in residency? They also work long hours under stress[/quote]

Yes. A resident is well educated but is basically as useful as any other entry-level employee. Same as a first year associate.[/quote]

I am in administration  (for now) and I don’t think  an EA deserves more than an entry level doctor or lawyer or professor.   They go to school for years and come out with debt just to make less than a round the clock Secretary? [/quote]

Can't address doctors or professors, but I am a lawyer and will say: first year associates are pretty easy to come by, but good assistants? Those are like unicorns. So the pay has to be good. [/quote]
