I'm convinced that at least some of the cultural resentment at academia is rooted on the completely mistaken belief that we all are have permanent job security, make six figure salaries to teach 4 hours a week with summers off, and get to spend all our time Thinking, capital-t.
I told my sister-in-law my salary last night & she was totally shocked. she was like, “I was sure you were in the six-figures.” she works in medical administration & makes 20K more than me a year
just so everyone knows—assistant professors in English lit DO NOT make six figures.
