Let me introduce myself first. I am a 32-year-old university teacher, Ph.D., an associate professor of teaching and research at 2 1 1 school in a second-tier city in East China, and a tutor for master students. My wife is also at school. I have a 2-year-old child, a scooter, 1 set of commercial housing loans, and the monthly repayment is 2500 yuan. My subject ranks in the top five in China, and I am just one of the most common teachers in the school, which is absolutely representative, so my income is absolutely representative. Before I post this post again, I definitely only dive, don't pour, and never reply. I saw many netizens' posts about university teachers on Tianya, some said yes, some said no, so I want to reflect the real side here. What I care about here is the nature of work, income and welfare.
1) nature and hardship of work
First of all, I love teaching very much. 1, you can stay with young people every day and always keep a young mind. Even if you are 60 years old, you still feel that you will always be a revolutionary youth; 2, the school environment is good, the trees are shaded, the PM2.5 is much lower, and my school is close to the scenic spot and the environment is very good; 3. The school has complete exercise facilities, so you can exercise with little or no money, such as running, table tennis and badminton. 4, there are about two months of holidays every year, so you can spend more time with your family, because there is still one month, usually overtime; 5. You can travel frequently.
People like me belong to the teaching and research type, that is, undergraduate courses with both teaching and research tasks. First of all, my task is to attend classes. Each semester is about 1-2 for undergraduates and 1 for postgraduates. The average class time per week is 6-8 hours, that is, there are 6-8 classes in 45 minutes. Although I don't have much class time, I want to have a good class. In particular, our discipline is developing rapidly, and we have to prepare lessons again every year, and sometimes we have to give temporary classes to some on-the-job engineering masters. Of course, there are additional subsidies, which I will also mention in my income. For me, it is very hard for a research university like ours to attend classes, because many people don't want to attend classes because they have less money. The quality of class is not closely related to personal spiritual care in the future. This is a very sad thing for me. I still have a clear conscience about this, and I will prepare lessons well to treat students.
Secondly, scientific research, you have to apply for funds every year. In colleges and universities, funds are divided into two parts. One is called vertical fund, which is the money given by the state, so that you can actually do some basic research, such as the National Natural Science Foundation and some provincial funds, as well as with the Ministry of Education. The higher the school level, the higher the teacher's professional title and popularity, and naturally the more funds. A small potato like me has about 400 thousand in hand, and many professors and doctoral supervisors have funds. My leader is a very good person, and let me manage my own funds, so that when I do some experiments, my autonomy is much greater. However, in many places in colleges and universities, some leaders or project team leaders like to hold funds firmly in their hands, which makes young people's autonomy much less, which is not conducive to their growth. The other is called horizontal fund. For teachers, everyone is more willing to get horizontal funds, mainly because the audit is relatively loose, the money is easier to spend, and the vertical fund audit is more strict. Of course, some people took them in the form of fake invoices, but these were made by more talented people. Since we only have hundreds of thousands of funds, we just want to do our own experiments well and publish more articles.
It is very important for young people to publish papers again, usually when they are promoted to professional titles. There can be several good SCI papers with high impact factors (in short, the higher your article is concerned by the outside world, the better, but there are great differences between different disciplines, so you can't generalize) (in short, international journal papers written in English are included in the scientific citation database, and more than 8,000 magazines around the world are included. It is very important to measure their level, which is generally evaluated by the previous influencing factors. There are also projects, national projects, such as the National Fund, the National 863 Plan and the National 973 Plan. These are the two most important things. If this person is outstanding, there is no problem in evaluating the title. What we do is to spend the money given by the state on these basic research, get some research results, publish them in journals, get recognition from international and domestic counterparts, apply for new topics on the basis of quality, and realize a virtuous circle;
Managing students, there are about 20 doctors and masters in our laboratory, and students have their own students, who are in charge of the research group. These students should be responsible for their own research ideas, and some people should be relieved in time if they are in a bad mood. In short, let everyone work together and make more achievements in the micro-laboratory, so that there will be a steady stream of funds to support our vision and direction.
Laboratory housekeeper, such as instrument procurement, laboratory drug ordering, laboratory safety and other work needs to be arranged in person or by students, and can not be late for business trips;
To investigate and solve problems in enterprises, some horizontal projects need to be investigated in enterprises or solved in the front line, and they need to travel when they are not in class. Some plans need to arrange for students to solve and supervise the whole project when they come back;
Learning is mainly aimed at young teachers. It will take some time for the school to improve the content of English training and scientific writing for people to learn.
I am also the branch secretary of the department. I usually have to engage in some activities in party member to collect party dues, which will delay some time;
Pre-job training is to go to grass-roots towns for pre-job training. You will usually be assigned a deputy director, such as a deputy mayor or deputy secretary. If you are in school, you will be given a deputy director, such as a deputy magistrate. Sometimes you don't need to stay there full-time when you are on the job, and you have a certain living allowance. Usually, the post-employment time will not be too long, about 1-2 years.
The project team will have a lot of entertainment when they have something to do. China is an individual society and does not entertain people. Many things can't be done well and can't be done. Sometimes some colleagues from other universities also come to exchange visits. The person in charge is also a generous person, so I often have to drink a little wine, and the amount of alcohol is ok, more than 8 taels, but I don't want to drink more, because I still think I can have time to sort out my thoughts and write more papers in the evening, especially when I hate drinking at noon, which will be wasted in the afternoon. Sometimes I think drinking is bad for students, so I should pay attention to it.
There are also some, which are relatively liquid. For example, something happened at the college. University teachers are generally loose and go to the office after class. The relationship between the two teachers in our office is also relatively harmonious
Having said that, we all know that a university teacher is far from being as simple as eight classes a week and one paper a year as some posts say. Moreover, in places like colleges and universities, if you don't advance, you will fall back, and your daily life is very tense. You don't have your own time when you have something to do on weekends. It is a low-level job in the field of work and life.
The above is just work. As a child, father and husband, I also need to play the role of family, so sometimes I sigh that time is not enough.
2) Income: Having said so much above, I definitely feel that the income should be quite large. In fact, compared with my own labor, my income is not much. My income mainly consists of the following parts:
A. The money given by the state and the school, that is, my salary, is about 7,000 yuan after deducting the provident fund, housing subsidies and income tax. By the end of the year, the school will still have post allowance performance above 1W and college bonus of 5,000 yuan, which is10w for one year;
B. The money given by the leader of the research group, the projects received outside, will be divided into performance after returning, and the leader is relatively thick, generally about 30,000 yuan per year;
C. The money for lectures and reports is more or less, sometimes 1000, sometimes hundreds, and the market is different, about 5,000 per year;
D. The school's provident fund and housing subsidies include about 2.2W 1 year, and the wife's annual 1.8 million, * * * 40,000. Because buying a house can be used to repay the loan every year, basically there is a surplus in addition to repaying the expenses;
E. Some income is uncertain, about1w per year;
F. The income of temporary workers, such as temporary workers last year, is 4,000 yuan per month, which is ***4.8W a year, but this income is only 1 year.
3) Welfare:
1, economically: every big festival will have some small things, such as oil, duck eggs, fungus, rice and so on. There will also be gifts for children on Children's Day. A supermarket card with a price of 100 yuan is given for birthdays, and a supermarket card with a price of several hundred yuan is given for the Mid-Autumn Festival of National Day, but these add up to little money, which is * * * 65438 a year.
I went to attend an academic conference. I can have some fun after the meeting. I have also been to many cities at home and abroad, but I haven't been abroad yet. I want to go there when I go abroad.
3. Go out to do projects and enterprise inspections, and give some real things, such as silk quilts, crabs, tea, local products and other fresh things, about 6,000-8,000 per year;
People in enterprises often invite them to eat or visit, and they can try local dishes and local products.
5. There is no need to pay pension insurance and medical insurance. It belongs to public medical care. If you take medicine in the school hospital, you need to pay 10% of the medicine fee, which will be paid by the old-age insurance unit. According to current standards, the professor's pension is about 8000/ month.
Including everything, my net income is about 16- 17W. Including my wife's annual income of about 6W, my annual income is about 22W. Compared with those great gods who are always1100 million, I can't live my own life. As a teacher, what I really enjoy is the students' positive comments on myself. When I graduate, I will say, XXX is really good. Educated students will send greetings to themselves during festivals and never forget them for many years; When colleagues mention it, they know what kind of research such a person is doing; All the enterprises I have been to say that this expert was really hired for nothing and solved some practical problems.
I'm tired after writing so much at night. It is estimated that there are some clerical errors, which are a bit anticlimactic. Just make do, but the truth is the most important thing.
