[quote=Anonymous]I know three tenured professors, all brilliant, all extraordinary personalities, all tenured at R1/Ivys. They make decent salaries, but getting tenure was SLOW and HARD and a financial struggle. I made more than any of them did as a nonprofit/govt lawyer than they did for many eyars. They also work harder than anyone I know. They do have awesome lives and lifestyles (now that they have tenure) but they got it honestly. Also let me repeat that they are truly extraordinary people who are not only brilliant in their fields, but also interpersonally brilliant. Based on this, I think academia is extremely difficult.
