….In choosing low-paying career paths ? social services and journalism ? I aimed for a full life, if not necessarily a full-bank-account life, and I?m happy I did. So I?m puzzled by these cries coming from that expanse of state-owned land on the shores of Lake Mendota that the quality of UW-Madison is in jeopardy because its miserly professorial salaries are not enough to keep and recruit the best faculty. I had always assumed that college professors, like me, saw money-making as a fairly low priority.
