Are you tenured? I know the tenured profs at my business school, and even the tenured track faculty are well compensated. However, the lectures make less than public school teachers.

Until a month ago I was a Applications Developer/Database Admin/Project Leader for a very large industrial corporation. Now I am with a small company selling severe service valves. My toys, however, will be funded by my wife, who graduates law school in may and already has a job making more than double what I do. Yep, I got a Sugar Momma!

I am a field service engineer. I install, repair and maintain equipment used to make printing plates for commercial printers. If you read Sports Illustrated, People, Time, Brides, Newsweek, or the Cabelas catalog the printing plates are imaged on equipment I maintain. I know who the cover model for the SI swimsuit issue is long before most people.

Good luck! I know even getting a tenured track position is very difficult. But it seems that most universities aren’t interested in hiring Asst. Prof unless they plan to make them into professors.
