They’ll probably stay in zoos or preserves.
They were here pretty recently, their food is still here. It was cruel that we extincted them.

Yeah, pretty sure it was fermented into ammonia and didn’t smell like pee.
Are you in the US?

I’m almost the same story. Now I have great pay, fully remote, and a position where I’m respected, without competing egos, and folks want what I have to offer.
Kinda a tangent, but my department was always having guest speakers come from “alternative careers” but none were better paying or higher status than a professorship. Usually park rangers or low paying consulting things. Maybe I just had bad luck, but it really pushed the narrative that there were no opportunities out there. I’d love to give that talk to a department of PhD students, to give them my perspective if what’s important from the outside looking in.
In the US, most professors are part time adjunct and get no health benefits. Probably make 30-50k.
Tenured faculty at major universities make 70-90k.
Considering these jobs requires at least 9 years of uni (in the US), the lifetime income of professors is still very low.
RE TAs: I US stem fields TAs work 20h and make 15-30k. That usually includes free tuition, but not in all states (e.g. in Texas, you sometimes pay tuition out of your TA pay, which is crazy)
Where do you live? I don’t believe you.
College professors. Most are part time adjunct, most make garbage pay, work their asses off, while university executives make bank.
To correct someone from saying “so” too much:
“Sew buttons on ice cream”
“Hey” too much:
“Hay is for horses”
“Well” too much:
“Well, well, well - that’s three holes in the ground”
Micromanage much?!?!
What’s your solution?
I wonder if the issue here is you don’t appreciate how stupid your own proletariat is (i.e., as stupid and vulnerable as the American populis, but not exposed to the same intense propaganda). I think humans everywhere are surprisingly gullible and illogical.
