Too much for what they are fucking teaching.gil wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 9:45 pmI'm curious: How much do you think a professor of gender studies makes? I don't mean a "superstar" with books and national attention. I mean the run of the mill academic at the run of the mill college. I doubt it's 6 figures.Walla Walla Dawg II wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 9:21 pmNot entirely true. Electricians have a very rigorous training, and sometimes years of schooling. It all depends on how up the food chain they want to go. And this is set by the unions....whether it's a union shop or not.ddraig wrote: ↑Thu Feb 23, 2023 5:20 pmTime to shed the "Degree is everything" mantra. Plumbers, welders, electricians, wood workers can all make triple digit salaries in the time it takes the average college student to graduate. Typically, those service jobs do not have any debt, too. So tell me again why I need a degree in History, English, Comparative Religions, or Basket Weaving. Read up on a guy by the name of Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" fame.
I can't speak for plumbers, but I know welding also needs some schooling. I believe it's a 2-year degree at the standard community college, but that's a far cry away from $200,000 worth of student debt.
But there will NEVER be money in gender studies....unless you are the professor.
And...
There are no "superstar" professors in gender studies.
and....
I bet it's well into the 6 digit figure for a pac12 school.
