[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What professors live like that?[/quote]

This is your takeway? Lol

Law, med, and business school professors can do really well: easily 200k +, not to mention consulting fees, royalties from textbooks or other books, speaking fees, etc. Also, sometimes professors can nice perks like free housing (in really nice historic buildings) if they are deans or have endowed chairs, etc.

Plus they get a ton of time off. And obviously there are colleges and universities everywhere, including LCOL areas.[/quote]
I knew a university professor, and in addition to a $175,000 salary, he also was an expert witness in his field at very high day rates and a speaker at conferences. Easily made $250,000 total. His wife was a high school teacher, so I'm guessing their combined income was way over $300,000. Kids were grown. [b]They spent every summer on six-week trips through Europe, month-long cruises throughout the Mediterranean, whatever.[/b] [/quote]

This has been my experience of the (older) professors I knew in our family or among my parents' friends. They traveled all summer when I was growing up.

The few friends I know trying to get into academica have been adjuncting and that is not a good gig.[/quote]
