A different line of work
While looking for a particular quote by Homer Simpson I came across an old online issue of the Cav Daily (we have our own Homer), which lead me to notice a link posting faculty salaries from 2002. (Isn’t my attention span terrible?)
Anyway, turns out being a professor isn’t as bad as I thought. Summers off, extremely flexible hours, dirt cheap real estate, LittleJohn’s… oh and a starting salary of around seventy grand. Yikes.
Now I know how Brogan got that Corvette (and why everyone wanted me to get my Ph.D.). So much for the starving scholar. 
Then again, he has a wife and infant son, I’ve got a spider plant [named Peter].
