(725 posts)that I found a year or two ago, that I can't find right now, that listed salaries from universities all over the country. I was floored when I saw the figures. They were obscene. In my own state, Michigan, at UofM, the top were in medical school at over 800K per year. Business school was up there, too. He's some other site with a little info:

This makes me want to throw up! It doesn't even take into account the fantastic benefits and huge amounts of time off. WTF? Kids are starting their lives with debt they won't be able to pay off until they're middle aged so these people can live large and drive luxury cars? It's outrageous. Nobody needs that much money to live comfortably.
It seems like everyone wants to be in the 1% and if it's on the backs of students, that's okay
