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.
Bro. I saw the light and left academia shortly after my phd. I make a very good living doing other shit, mainly managing money and people. I do better than most tenured profs. So can you.
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.
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?
I have tenure. Tell me about this podcast scheme.

Tell me more.
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.
