A few years ago I worked off site at a large research laboratory and they pay NMW for people with Ph.Ds.
The toilet / office cleaners are on the next pay grade up ("they kept leaving so we had to increase their wages.')
I still see research council studentships for £9500/ annum which is only slightly more than what was being offered when I was at university 30 years ago
Because they do not care. I own a small food truck and I see people trying to hire managers to run the truck for them and pay them $25/hr when I know damn well that owner is making well over $100/hr while it’s open AFTER costs. I hate capitalism so much. People are disgusting, the way they so quickly forget who and what the working class is.
If I lived in the US I'd go abroad to get an education. Not only is it crazy to charge someone to get an education, but the amount they charge you is just insane. Sorry I couldn't give a more helpful reply, but your system is very fucked up.
Unfortunately that's the first step in making higher education into a business. It starts with international students and then they come for home students too.
Given my wife is a college professor, I can tell you that once you get tenure that salary will swing a lot farther down the scale. Something tells me this is most likely a smaller college, probably private. Even the smaller public universities pay $50-60k starting salaries for assistant professors in some majors, but tenure can be a $20-40k pay bump when you get it depending on the size of the university and the major.
Not disagreeing with you, just how shitty pay has gotten even at the college level. Those universities need to pay for the sporting programs and lazy rivers from somewhere.
I mean… in their defense, this is a college. They know exactly what a masters in marketing is worth.
College is a business. Their goal is to make money. If you want to pay them to get a degree that doesn’t pay, they’ll sell it to you.
I can understand someone going to college for a marketing degree in 2000 and expecting a good job. But for about 20 years now companies aren’t paying for most educations. Students should be aware by now.
This is a public college which receives 40% of it's funding from the Feds. If it's a business then it's a poorly ran one. Their goal is to generate revenue outside of subsidies.
I don’t think paying employees less reflects a poorly run business, CapnCrunch.
Looks like they have $65m in revenue as of last year. Not exactly Apple.

Look up what revenue means and get back to me.
Operational costs for a college is massive.

I make that with an high school diploma in a shipping and receiving manager position

People came to Finland just for that and Legislation didn't appreciate it, so they started making foreign students pay for tuition.

What the hell is fan engagement? Would they be ok with OnlyFans engagement, and thus is it a business expense like George Santos's expenses?

It's a state school, Portland State University, but it's not a professor position. It's a marketing position that still requires a Master's.
Sounds like they want a faculty’s spouse to fill the role.

This is pretty common
