Good gigs if you get a senior post at a major university, you do whatever research you want, and not much else.
When you talk of pay, that doesn't include research grants. Research grants don't go into your pocket.
Getting tenured at a major university is a $#!tload of hard work and is far from the cushy life you make it out to be. I believe there are a couple of members here that could attest to that. Even after getting a tenure, it's a lot of work producing results, writing proposals (which may sound easy, but is anything but), and keeping ahead of the competition.
It's a mad, mad, mad world, out there.
