This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Truth. It's well paid higher up the ladder but those jobs are few and far between. Depends on the country as well - the US and UK wages suuuck.

I can't complain. I personally love it and have only worked in supportive teams.

Unless you're in university administration, academia is not well paid. University administrators who are well paid are usually EdDs (essentially, university-focused MBAs) who didn't take the normal academic route of research first.
