[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most professors can't afford elite private schools in this area unless they come from family money or they have a spouse who makes much more[/quote]

Depends what subject they teach and where they teach.  Tenured profs in general are overpaid these days, considering they get summers off.  And law school profs do extremely well.  These are some of the sweetest gigs going.  Plus, many schools pay full tuition or partial tuition to profs' kids wherever they go to college.  Anyone who is not a tenured prof at a good school is...a sucker missing out on these perks and near-complete job security.  No wonder no one retires![/quote]

my dad was a college professor.  We never saw him.  He even went to the office on Thanksgiving morning. Weekdays he'd come home, eat dinner, and go back to the office till 10pm.  Weekends he was at the office every day.  We'd go on vacation to see my gandparents, and he'd hole himself up in the office three or four hours a day working.  Summer he took 6-8 week research trips to rare book collections.  We only got free tuition at his university and then only till we were 25.  And we were poor compared to my friends.

I can't imagine things are so different now than they were 20 years ago.[/quote]
