They're in an incredibly good position. My former boss's boss's boss has a PhD in chemistry. His boss's boss has a PhD in economics. "Tired of bossing around stupid undergrads? Get paid 5 times as much to boss around adults!" I don't even have any reports, and I'm making 5 times what I was making as an adjunct and barely scraping by, and I don't have to deal with undergrads who would rather squeak by than actually learn the material they're being certified in. I have my MBA, but I'm quite pleased to work with people who have their bachelors in philosophy. Disturbed is a good word. Certifiably insane might be a better phrase to use. The real world can actually pay the bills. If you're not being appreciated financially by academia, go where you are. If you still want to deal with undergrads after putting in an honest day's work, there's plenty of demand for adjuncts to teach night classes.
