As you are paying off your loans remember the high price of your education helped pay for not just a fancy diploma but also:

Shiny new buildings, Hotel-like dorms, Professors making 400k, Administrators making 700k, a moped for every football player ...

Lol in which world do professors get paid 400k? Even at Berkeley CS mis career pay is roughly 150k. Administrators have ballooned.

Also our dorms are pretty shit.

Business school professors even at Michigan make 200-600k. I know one of them.

How much do European history professors get paid?

Better yet, how many professors get hired as non-adjuncts?

Not sure, but I know a full professor in Philosophy at a top public University that makes 70k

For the amount of education, and filters you have to go through to get to that point, that doesn't sound like a lot.

I doubt that those professors get pair directly from the University; probably alumni donations fund a lot of that.

Not to mention the adjuncts making $900 a month to do the actual teaching.

Not sure I can imagine a football player on a moped, though.
