    Sorry we’ve got a vocabulist here hold on let me talk him down

    Nobody is talking about whatever ivory tower caste system you are talking about, to normals “professor” is common parlance for “college teacher” and many campuses around the country still call adjunct “”“”“”““instructors””“”“”“”" adjunct professors

    i hope this fulfills the terms of your devil riddle

      Yes except lecturers also make bank.

      The only people not making good money are the PhD students who also teach. Even then most of us I think get more money than the undergraduates.

      Even I as a student get something like £19,000 a year plus £40 per hour teaching rate for any classes I teach.

      Either these people are manipulating you or there is something very wrong with academia in your country. Luckily moving countries is quite easy for academics as many Universities will hire foreign staff and there are often immigration laws in place for these kinds of people.
