Apparently you can become a multi millionaire in academia by criminal acts and not be prosecuted or made to give the millions back.

Dr Chandra was a researcher and faculty member at memorial college in canada. He was well known in academia and nutrition and published many paper in medical journals and did lucrative studies for baby formula and received many grants.

He ended up with many millions in offshore banks and foreign bank accounts.

His employee of many years reported him for faking the studies and papers that were in medical journals. He stole millions.

However the college decided not to do a damn thing about it because they didnt want to bring embarrassment on themselves.

Professors are overpaid


I hate when people say this shite. People are paid based on what their employers think they are worth... Not what YOU think they are worth.

Of course academia can pay well. Most well paid college professors didn’t just start teaching straight out of their doctoral programs but spent decades practicing in their field before transitioning into the classroom and many remain active through clinical work or research.

Based on the OP, those that both do and teach, do fairly well for themselves.

A lot of professors make a good bit of patent income

What does teaching have to do with college professors?


Nothing, he thinks he's being smart using a quote he heard from Jack Black in School of Rock
