[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And this is why colleges are businesses and no longer for advancing your education. Between athletics and the [b]crazy money many professors get paid[/b]....it’s all about the money. Save your money and kids go to a tech school, learn a trade.....much more useful. You’ll come out with 20000 of debt vs 70000+.[/quote]

What??  Professors are notoriously underpaid for their expertise and education level.  They often go to school for 10+ years to get the job, only a few get a tenure track position where they then spend 6 years with minimal pay raises and where they might lose their livelihood after that point if they don't publish enough, get high quality teaching marks and acquire grants.  There are problems with the cost of college but it is really not a cause of overpaying professors.[/quote]

The pay problems for full professors at top 50 schools are largely a thing of the past.  In any event, the real bloat is at the administration level.  A full freight sucker’s check is going in part to pay some vp of this or that  300k a year plus full tuition benefits for their kids.  It’s an ugly thing to look when you lift the rock up.[/quote]
