> My life experience says that at least in academic teaching If you mean financially compensated, just about anywhere. There's only a few places where academic teaching is well compensated and even in those places it doesn't compare to the private sector. Oh and there's an enormous but not very visible industry of having university professors on boards of companies as advisors to make sure there's a very easy transition for them to move to private industry.

> If you mean financially compensated, just about anywhere. I explicitly wrote "appreciated". There are of course a lot of jobs that pay a lot better than some low teaching position in academia, but in these, a great knowledge nearly always gets you a lot of hate and resistance. Nearly all of these jobs are rather about "shut down your brain, keep your mouth shut, and take the money".
