  • Ah, so he protected them from being prosecuted or something?

    My understanding is the murder's family was ruined by donating to the church. The murderer wrote.that.he planned to kill the church leader,.but changed.his mine cause Abe was more famous and would get more attention. I don't think there is evidence that the murderers motivations were political, but I could be wrong. Happen to have a source?

  • 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)
