My buddy is a prof in finance with summers off, light weekly schedules, and generally the most relaxed lifestyle around, and he makes more per hour than a wall street hotshot (because they work many more hours). He's in a lucrative department (finance) but my understanding was that other disciplines are not far off. From what I've seen, finance prof may be the single best job in the world.
