it's pretty hilarious how my uncle, a prof with almost no teaching background, talks about profs with tenure. "the most spoiled lazy [expletive]" while hes moved to admin, makes the average "upper middle class" salary (in canada), I know a phd in accounting that moved to the states and makes more than his peers (no one wants to do accounting theses)and still trying to maximize earning esp looking outside of academia and lives pretty frugally
- godzillabrennus 8y agoA PhD I know moved to Alaska to get tenure. No way they’d get it anywhere else these days.
- hi5eyes 8y agoyeah the phds i know aiming for tenue only try to get positions at unrecognized schools
- btmorex 8y agoMaybe tenured professors nearing retirement are lazy, but a basic requirement of getting tenure is working at least as hard and usually harder than all your peers. At a certain level, everyone's smart and the only differentiator is hard work and luck.
- hi5eyes 8y agowell... yeah duh
