[quote=Anonymous]Those of you who have never worked in academia have it wrong. It IS a scam, and the professors are being used by the schools. Here is an example: did you know that even a full professor, with tenure (top of the pecking order) has to bring in 85% of his/her salary with grant money (forever). Each grant usually lasts 2-5 years, so you are constantly seeking your next grant. Yes, the University only covers 15% of their salary (and makes a ton of "indirect costs" off all of the grants the bring in). Successful researchers typically have a team of technicians, statisticians, coordinators: and the professor has to bring in 100% of their team's salaries (including benefits). It is not a cushy, relaxing, navel-gazing existence--trust me.[/quote]
