[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe in Michigan it's possible to have a nice life as a professor, but it's harder here.  When I was living in My first "just out of college" apartment in Arlington my next door neighbors were two professors with two kids living in a shitty two bedroom.  It was not a fancy apartment.  My friends in the area who are currently professors either live in way far out suburbs and complain constantly about $$ or have family money to float them.

The "nice life" professor belongs in TV myth, along with the rich Brady bunch architect. [/quote]

Neither the "nice life" professor or the rich Brady bunch architects are myths. They do exist.

We are talking of people at the top of their profession and the major universities. If you are tenured and of full professor status you can make a generous income.

The top level of architects can also make handsome incomes, especially those who own their own practice. I'm not necessarily talking about Robert Stern but just to use as an example is a family friend who started a practice designing houses for the very rich in the Hamptons. He has done extremely well. A niche market indeed. The world is filled with these niches.
