I was hoping to be be a professor. However the process looks very longs. I'm in my fourth year of my PhD, and hope to be finished in about a year, and will probably need a couple of post-docs. What are the starting salaries for assistant profs?
I'm about 12 years out from my post-doc time. I decided not to go into academia mainly because of the salaries...I ended up in industry, and within 3 years was in six figures and within 7 years was in multiple six figures.
When I was looking, starting profs were making anywhere from $40K (up in Vermont...which was lower than my fellowship) to about $70K in good places. That wasn't so bad, but the problem was that from there, the slope was very low, with full profs only making about $90K to $140K after putting in 15 years. Not my idea of fun unless you live in Texas, or some other area where you can buy a nice house for under $150K. But in Boston...forget it!
I went into sales after my Masters. Base was $45K commission was 22K my first year, and the second year my base was up to $47K, and then I exceeded plan so my commission was $38K. Pretty nice
