So easier to hire but lower salary?
Can we call it a draw?
- bell-cot 3y agoWith how poorly academics are paid these days, and the grueling hours they have to work - is "women more readily hired into slave-labor jobs" an advantage for the women, or for the men?
- w0m 3y ago> With how poorly academics are paid these days VS top private institutions I'd believe it; but that would surprise me overall. https://www.comparably.com/salaries/salaries-for-tenured-professor https://www.comparably.com/salaries/salaries-for-tenured-pro... ~156k/year being my first search hit across all fields; but that also includes Arts and the like where private industry (and professor salary) is much lower Finance as an example will bring it up drastically.
- skizm 3y agoUnfortunately I think academics fall into the category (trap really) of "passion jobs" that are exploited due to the large amount of people willing to take slave wages to "do what they love". It is why video game developers, aerospace engineers, artists, and the like are all paid significantly less than their peers at more "boring" companies/jobs. They'll do the same day to day work, yet work for longer hours and lower pay fueled by the idea that they'll eventually break through some invisible barrier and reach a point where they're just doing the "fun" stuff all day every day.
