People say things like that occasionally, but I don't think it's an endemic
view. I know a few professors and they're all quite underpaid -- by which I

more for working the same long hours. But they love the work. These are
Engineering and Law professors. I suspect people are more willing to disrespect
art, English, and history professors as layabouts.
