So pretty much like every job I've ever had in the private sector.

Yes, but with a lot higher pay, and often with better insurance, etc. And your work experience in industry has more weight. I don't know how employable a person is if their only experience is teaching. Just looked up two of them in a nearby university. 12 month salary is $75-80K. No stocks, bonuses, etc. Both have MS degrees. It is a decent salary if the job is not stressful, and you are in a dual income family. But job security is likely poorer than in industry.
