  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Agreed, but I'd love to be making that as a professor here in NJ...

Have you considered getting tenure then making an absurd podcast?

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have tenure. Tell me about this podcast scheme.

Basically align yourself against any social movement that has money on the other side. Think like the oil industry. Once you pick up a small reputation you can get kickbacks on the side.

You make less than 64K/year as a tenured professor in NJ? The average tenured-professor salary in New Jersey is $105,880 as of September 01, 2024.

I'm guessing some of this is on you and your choices somehow.

Yeah, not news to me. That's just the breaks, man. Can't all work as grantwriters at an R1 or in a med school.

Sorry to hear that. The so-called "true poverty" line in NJ for a family of three is $70,327. It's incredible to have a PhD and be below the adjusted poverty line for the state. Isn't NJ incredibly expensive to live in? I've seen some crazy rent prices.
