It’s very important to be precise. Depending what country you’re in, there could be full professors, assistant professors, associate professors, instructors, and other positions. Some of those positions might be well paid, but it’s a safe bet that some of the others are not. So if you’re looking at one full professor’s salary and thinking that most other people with the word professor in their name make the same salary, depending what country you live in, you would be mistaken.
Actually wait a second, that’s true in every country.
Here in the UK the average processor salary is £79k per annum. Which is more than double the average UK salary and that’s something you can expect in many senior roles across various industries. These numbers are the median average.
There’s also the issue of 79k being not really enough to live on in the US, considering recent inflation, the housing market, child care costs, medical bills.
College professors. Most are part time adjunct, most make garbage pay, work their asses off, while university executives make bank.
Where I live college professors are extremely well paid. Well, at least in private colleges.
TAs earn nearly nothing though.
TAs can earn money?

Where do you live? I don’t believe you.

Who cares? It’s plenty to live in the UK.
I care cause most profs make under 79k in the US.
Good for you, but your point was that you don’t believe that professors earn good salaries. Well, they do. In developed countries.
Do you mean actual uk professors or university lecturers in general?
