What is the income of professors in famous American universities such as MIT? Of course it's good. Besides the fixed salary, there are many other incomes. In fact, the professor is not comparing the annual salary. If you are so naive, the salaries of professors in public universities are all open. Someone posted a picture yesterday, and it seems that Professor Songchun Zhu's income is less than 400,000, which is basically the same as that of senior code farmers in big companies, even lower than that of first-line factories. Don't talk about biochemical recycling. The average school professor in rural America is about12-150,000. You work as a nurse in the Bay Area, RN, with an annual salary of at least180,000, right? My college classmate, Dr. Hawken of Berkeley, a Bay Area teacher, has been saying for several years that living in this dump is too expensive and went to Texas. However, no senior peasant association thinks that it is better than the professional Professor Niu X. These are two tracks and two life development routes, which are incomparable. No factory donkey naively thinks that he is richer than Professor Zhu, right? Professor Zhu should be worth 100 factory donkey.

Professors have free working hours. Only after COVID-19, code farmers come to work and lie flat at home. With the growth of age, professors become more and more popular. If they get tenure, they can lie down and not be fired. At most, their students are arranged by the department head to the laboratory opposite the toilet. Code farmers are old and weak, even if they fail in political struggle, they have to find a home, and the stability of their work is far from stable; Professors have word-of-mouth advantages, which are eaten at home and abroad; The code farmer is working, unknown; Even if the professor's income is only 1.2 million, he can manage a bunch of postdocs and enjoy the fun of "management"; Even if the senior code farmer is 600,000, there is not a single soldier under his command; Teaching children to go to school naturally has advantages, and even the Olympics can find opportunities; Children of code farmers or ordinary migrant workers, like Nathan Chen, who just won the gold medal, have to work hard to get into Yale.

So in the real society, professors have a lot of wealth and freedom to start a company. However, it is nonsense to say that professors are not short of money at all. So many people take risks and toss around. In short, if they are Mohammed-level university professors, their salary is only a very small part of their achievements in life. Most of their achievements stand at the top of the academic circle, leading the world and representing elites. Just like the president of the United States earns 400 thousand a year, but any decision made by people is priceless. I'm afraid it will cost more than 400 thousand to make my son comfortable in Ukraine. Even if the president comes down to make any consultation or speech casually, it will be millions every year. Talking about wages in front of these people is itself "the emperor's golden hoe."
