[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also if you land a coveted tenure track job, and get tenure, you may have another host of problems.

I work at a mid-tier liberal arts college as an administrator and I can’t tell you how many of these faculty are bitter, depressed individuals. They come to the realization that this “brass ring” is forever. Not all colleges are in idyllic Boston; there are a lot in the sticks of South Carolina or Ohio.[/quote]

NP. This is really interesting.  It seems like most of the challenges posters are talking about involve how hard it is just to land a position and get tenure.  But it seems like after that should be smooth sailing - a job for life, can never get fired, the true "ivory tower" bubble *forever* as you mention.  Does the pay also go up a lot once you get tenure?  If you are making a high salary relative to locals in low cost of living areas like South Carolina, that does not sound too bad at all![/quote]
