This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In my personal experience, it usually means doing 80% of the professor's work for minimum wage pay so the $140k/yr prof can fuck off and go brown-nose the school Board of Trustees all term.

The Prof might be doing other research too, as universities aren't just for teaching undergrads. He might be advancing science in his field

In some countries doing research is requirement fot being prof.

Or maybe that professor is an adjunct professor and they’re making 40k/yr :(

Tough out there.
