I Am Now A Professor!

[Old Smokey]

Thank you all who wished me luck on my previous post. As of 9:30am I am now a professor at IU. My family will be moving this summer to Indiana and I cannot be more excited. In 5 years I will have tenure and my income will increased quite a bit.

My wife is excited and a bit sad since she is leaving her students next school year. I haven't told my kids or my nephew yet but I hope they understand that this is going to be the best thing for us. They will receive free college if they go to IU if I stay working there.

I have to wait until August to change my name on here unless a mod can change it before then.

What will you be teaching?

When I got out of my TA and was stepping into the tenure track, they only wanted to pay $14000 a year. I hope they are doing better than that these days.

Depends on the University. Penn State follows the MTV rules with professors. Hey we don't pay squat cause we're helping you build you resume. I know because I've washed dishes and line cooked with a few professors over the years.

Oh and good job. Hope you like it. And also hope you enrich future adults (college is for kids, you're an adult at 25 or the first time you get socks for Christmas and are happy about it).

I'll be teaching English Literature. I'll be making 70k starting and 102k by year ten.

Congratulations! I'm sure I have no idea of the work or office politics of such a position, but I have always felt that the passing on of knowledge to others was among the noblest professions.
