Compared to being a postdoc in this group http://www.cup.uni-muenchen.de/ac/klapoetke/ (see http://pubs.acs.org/cen/science/86/8601sci1.html )fizziks said:The amount of stress they take is one of the highest. My friend use to play UF. It's not easy being a coach. So their paid matches their work environment.
No, it is purely because of a strange cultural obsession with team sports. You can argue any number of jobs are just as stressful - that is a complete red-herring. An anthropologist from another planet would find it ludicrous to see the amount of money spent by research institutions on spectator sports.fizziks said:So their paid matches their work environment.

Choppy said:Or at least one should separate how the world actually works from how you believe it should work.

Honestly the only reason to increase pay for professors would be if the quality of those people staying in academia isn't adequate.
Oh, and professors in all math and science fields make about the same money.
twofish-quant said:Part of the reason I don't think too much about explanations for how football coaches deserve large sums of money is that it sounds a bit too much about how bank CEO's deserve large sums of money.
mgb_phys said:In industry a worker that is 90% as productive as another is worth 90% the salary, in sport a team that scores 90% of the goals of the winner is worthless
Same in court - a lawyer that 'almost' wins a case isn't worth anything.
Same thing applies in software, you have programmers that are 10x as good as others but no programmer earns 10x average wage.twofish-quant said:It really depends on the specifics of the industry. There are some "feast or famine" industries. Curiously physics academia tends to also be feast or famine.
That is because you are embedded in the culture. Some cultures don't find cannibalism strange.twofish-quant said:I wouldn't say it's a strange cultural obsession.
I haven't been in academia for 18 years.twofish-quant said:One of the things that I found was that to do well outside of academia, you really have to rethink some of your beliefs about how the world works.
While you are right, the first step in making any significant change in the world is to not be content with the way things are.Choppy said:Or at least one should separate how the world actually works from how you believe it should work.
