How are professors not middle class, financially? Academia doesn't pay particularly well.
- chinesempire 7y agoI wish my father was professor at University. How is it not upper class?
- bradlys 7y agoFinancially - it's possible they're middle class. I've seen plenty of professors making $150k+/yr though... That's 3x the median household income. But, I think middle class is more than just raw finance. Educational background of the parents is very important too. If you grow up with two professors - don't you think you'll do better than two high school dropouts? (On average)
