[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College professor. People think that I teach 6 hours a week, spend a couple of hours prepping, and hand off student work to TAs for grading, and that I earn a decently high salary. I work 40 hours a week, spend much of that time prepping (although a lot less now that I've been doing this for a decade), and I have no TAs. Most of my work hours are not not spent on teaching, but on research and writing (that's how tenure is determined, not by my teaching). My starting salary at a research university when I was first hired as an Assistant Professor was $45K in 2003. Sadly, this was very much the norm back then in the humanities.[/quote] [b]You only work 40 hours a week?? Must be nice. Already tenured?[/b][/quote] And here we go . . . Thanks for showing how ignorant you are on thread about stereotypes. [/quote] I agree. I'm a professor and I work way more than 40 hours a week and I'm still constantly behin.[/quote]
