    I wish. I get paid for 9 months a year, but only if I get a minimum number of students in my classroom. Otherwise my salary is reduced. For 3 months a year I must get my own research funds to cover my salary. And, in addition to teaching, I have to write project proposals to various agencies – over a dozen a year –, research papers, supervise grad students and maintain a public profile. Many of my colleagues haven’t slept 40 hours a week in years! And yeah, my student just took up a job after his PhD. His starting salary was way more than I make. Our salary isn’t going up for the next two years due to a pay freeze..

    Why do we do it? Some of us like to teach.. really!
