[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]Well, the professors barely show up so it is certainly possible for the professors. Many professors average like 3 hours a week on campus pre covid.[/quote][/b]

Why do you post negative stuff like this?[/quote]

Most full time professors (not instructors or adjuncts) work more than 60 hours a week. Just about all weekends.

This forum must not know a SINGLE academic. They keep throwing around images of a cushy lifestyle and they are absolutely clueless. [/quote]

I know several professors and while it is rough for untenured and adjunct faculty, once you are tenured, it is pretty darn cushy. Good gig if you can get it.[/quote]

This is an outdated perception.  Profs have annual evaluations like every other job and have to document that they have gotten and managed research grants, ran programs, designed and taught courses, mentored and advised students, written publications, reviewed publications and grants, served on dozens of committees etc.  The pay is relatively low for the degree of education required and the cutthroat competitiveness of becoming a tenured faculty.  Profs want to do it for the love of their subject, love of teaching and/or love of relative autonomy of the job.

This. It is low pay and a lot of work for untenured. Once you are tenured you are on the gravy train.[/quote][/quote]
