Speaking as someone who's going through the academic wringer right now and hating every moment of it, I have to say that in many cases, the traditionally "masculine" disciplines aren't any better paying. I'm a biologist, and this is one of the worst avocations to have because chances are I'll end up at a low-wage job teaching aspiring doctors the basics of biology. Ditto for physics and engineers. The "practical" majors are becoming even more commercialized and consequently low-paying.

It really depends where you work...work for private companies..and youll see that your salary will dramatically raise....Working for public companies is bullshit,especially in science fields...that's why physicians are all moving into private practices...same for scientists.
Well..it's like this in canada....if you do researches for high parties,pay is high.

That was an interesting comment about "mysterious market forces". To me it's a euphemism for politicized market. What is considered valuable to the economy and what is considered worthy of higher salaries is pretty much political, isn't it? Caring, nurturing, communication & cultural enrichment all take a back seat to nuts & bolts technical knowledge. Is it my imagination, or is it true that the literacy level of Americans has been going down hill over the past couple of decades?

College teaching is the most humiliating low wage career I have ever seen........

no job security, low wages, working at 2+ campuses, paying for own supplies/photocopies to state a few. Maybe ....capitalism showing its color...

I don't want to go to college after seeing this. I'd rather be poor.
