A new national survey by TIAA-CREF says that full-time faculty at four year institutions are plenty satisfied with their jobs...53% were 'very satisfied' and 43% were 'somewhat satisfied.'
A national survey of Americans in other positions - 42% and 38% respectively.
Gee, if I only had to face my job, what?, less than 10 hours a week and the rest of the time I could spend preparing for those 10 hours OR just send someone else to do it for me...I'd like my job, too.
Oh, and 3 months off during the year...and can't get fired...and, yeah, being a full-time faculty member at a four year college sounds pretty appealing.
This may explain why, 88% of profs were 'very likely' or 'somewhat likely' to
encourage students to take up a pointer and come work at the school.
What's more...faculty members can add from 10-50% of their income from outside sources.
And when they retire, teaching, other roles in education or in business await them.
Let's see what the faculty members at junior colleges have to say, eh?
