Not a very useful analysis, there are various levels of pay-grade and they all except the lowest ranks, often have 'professor' in their job titles. eg. Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, Professor, Professor Emeritus, Visiting Professor, and sometimes Contract Professor.

It is wide ranging for sure. I think most starting assistant professors start in the 50 to 75k range. In Cal State, your salary will start on the lower end, and go up incrementally. If in the University of California system, it will start in the upper end, and within 6-10 years, your salary will have doubled.

Fair and balanced.

I spend all day doing useful analysis for science. On the internet, all I can hope for is doing mildly interesting work :D
