Meh. There are two roles for Tenured College Professors: * Making intellectual bets that might not pay off for decades * Making Graduate students work hard Everything else is gravy. The university and country that puts most effort into these two will over the long term get the most out. The important thing here is tenure . The next most important thing is you get to be a professor because all the other professors think you might make a good one. Just pay up the money, and make the empirical sciences better paid. Its like a magic machine is edication. Put in money get out more. If you want to see my poster-child for College Professors (#) go ▶ this video . (#) No, not that Playboy spread. Different poster.
