The other day I was thinking about a professor I had in college. He was a funny guy with a good sense of humor. Whenever the class asked him to do something above and beyond his syllabus, he'd respond sarcastically with "they don't pay me enough for that." We'd all laugh, he was hilarious. It'd go like this:
Class: Can we have an extension on our mid term paper?
Professor: No, they don't pay me enough to do that.
Class: It's beautiful outside today. Can we hold class outside?
Professor: Absolutely not. They don't pay me enough for that.
So I began to wonder ... how much did this guy actually make? If you ask random people around campus, they'll give you figures that range from $40,000 to $200,000. Clearly these figures are wrong.
So I did some research, just to figure out how much they weren't paying this guy. Here is a link to find out how much money your professors bring in annually. Now, I'm not advocating you use this in any way. It's just nice to have to information. In my case, when my professor said "they don't pay me enough for that," I'd just laugh and quietly say to myself, "you're a damn liar," and take whatever he wasn't going to do like a man.
