Higher Education is not what it once was either, between the lack of raises, increased class size, trouble getting federal grants that get you tenure or promotion. I wish my husband had chosen industry, he is to old to go that route now but I don't blame younger faculty for looking. Not to mention the students and their parents are harder to deal with than ever.
