The head of a typical public company made $9.6 million in 2011, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.
And many CEOs make much more --- 2011 compensation for the CEOs of: : Wells Fargo $17.9 million---- Ford $29.5 million---- Verizon $23 million----Exxon $25 million.
In my opinion under-paid: janitors and cleaners, fast-food workers, child-care workers.
I don't believe it ---- do you have a source for that?
you don't believe me that the typical IB employee works 80-100 hours a week? the 1 mil a year was just a number I threw out there but the hours worked is not. I could only imagine that the hours worked are getting worse due to layoffs in IB but needing to get the same amount of work done.
Teachers making 15k-18k a year? Um, no! Try like 35k to start and it goes up from there. Plus all that time off like someone else said, definitely overpaid. Concur with firemen being overpaid. City cops and EMTs, underpaid. Highway Patrolmen, hugely overpaid (what do they honestly do that sheriffs and city cops couldn't handle?) Tenured college professors, overpaid. Part time college profs are underpaid. Congress underpaid, federal judges overpaid. Every single water department person in the country is overpaid by their entire salary and my job is of course underpaid.
I was under the impression that most college profs don't earn much (<100k) tenured or not. Ime in the sciences in grad school they're doing far more than teaching. While some have their eye on the patent prize, many just publish and add to the body of knowledge. My adviser wasn't using his grant money as income and the work we were doing was going on 7 days a week, all day/night.

Most professors in sciences have a handful of patents and several papers published by 10 years of service. I can tell you that the tenured professors I work with make $160k+ in salary.

I used to work at a credit union that was at the college I went to, and a professor of mine came in to do business. So of course I was sneaky and wanted to see how much he made, and after taxes, and deductions, just what was going to this account was 125k. And he was just an assistant or associate (i forget) professor, not a full on tenured professor.
This was a computer science professor as well in case that makes a difference.

Some do, but the median is far lower. I found the average here for '06.

I posted a link above. Some certainly make far more. I'm sure the prof's at Ivy's 1&2 tier schools are making way more than the majority at 3r & 4th tier schools. I'm surprised that you guys think these numbers reflect across the board.

my school is a local university. Costs under 400/credit hour for in state tuition. It's not exactly a big school at all. That's why I'd be surprised that any college professor wouldn't make 6 figures.

Maybe they all eventually do, but given the numbers I've seen it doesn't seem to happen. The BLS is somewhat reliable. Glass door would probably give some insight as well.
