It's a decent middle class job.
- scythe 9y agoAn physics postdoc should pull in 40-60k (mean 49k) without an NYC CoL so I'm not sure subway conductor is better. Adjunct salaries can be disgustingly low but that's mostly in the humanities AFAIK.

- romwell 9y ago>40-60k >Might My friend got under $40K as a physics postdoc in TX, my partner got around $50K as a math tenure-track in midwest, and those are the lucky academics that could find these positions. You can look up salaries at many public institutions. The trend is pretty sad. Some people might get a lot of money by winning the lottery, doesn't mean it's a viable career choice. Disclaimer: I jumped ship, and still might suffer a bit from the sour grapes syndrome - but not because the salaries in academia very any good.
- pinewurst 9y agoThe benefits are really good too.
