He's managing a lab at a university after failing medical school. I'd say not only is he making more where he's at than elsewhere, he's also building up the experience to be qualified to work in the private sector.

You may be a fool, try not to project it on me.

If you work for a university you work for the government. Bernie won in 2016 and all universities are government now don’t you know this

I got a ton of offers from Pfizer and Beyer this year. When they were ramping up vaccine production I was getting contacted weekly.

Universities don't pay near what private does. But Id rather work on public publishable science.

So you do believe working at a university not only makes as much as as the private sector but now you’re saying more than elsewhere. May I ask what do you do for a living that leads you to have such delusional views on university vs. private sector salaries? In your work, can you literally not apply for a position at a university in your respective field and first hand realize the salary differences?

I change my mind, spend the stimulus you received from me on vodka so you stop posting garbage

Again, I don't believe you. But if true, go to Pfizer. Go to Beyer. Involve yourself in the vaccine, and pay us taxpayers back for what we invested in you.

Your beliefs on the issue are not only irrelevant, but also incongruent with reality. I thought snipa made this clear to you when he demolished you legally in the forced entry thread.

Im already paying it back by doing cancer research. Sorry you dont value cancer treatments but most people do which is why loan forgiveness is a thing.

I think his point is that some people's personality and qualifications make them more suitable for academia than private sector jobs, and that such a person might therefore indeed make more at a university than he could in the private sector. For example, think of a Sheldon Cooper type who's a prodigy in his academic field, but lacks social skills to such a laughable degree that he's barely able to function around other people.

Thor definitely isnt that type of guy, so the discussion is kinda moot, but in principle, the argument that some people have lower earning potential in the private sector is valid.

I think some people might but that is a personal flaw and not really systemic

Are there certain occupations that on average pay less in private sector than a university setting? Drunk bob was eluding to university settings systemically paying more, not just to the one off social outcast

Also not to nitpick but the example Sheldon cooper type - he won’t have a problem getting a high paying job private sector despite being a social outcast because many in private sector prefer function over fashion. He might have a couple awkward job interviews along the way and might not land every job as a result, but there will be a certain company that requires his skill set which I am making an assumption here , that’s it’s probably superior to his peers
