5 or 6 is very good. Anything more is shocking.


I had a professor mention they (professors) put in 5% and the university "matches" with 10%.

So they work 2-3 days a week, have 1/4 of the year off completely and get those kinds of benefits. Not a bad gig.

My professor wife puts in 4% and they match 6%.

She honestly works about 60 hours a week for pretty mediocre pay.
