I did not mean it that way Dirk; reverse your thinking please. I mean your worth more and to get paid more you should work away from the University. I know many who have reached the PhD level of education and leave the university realm because the pay can be so much higher. At least here in the states its that way. Now in the rest of the world I am not sure of the situations of employment from a PhD stand point.

Live a meager life - stay at University pay, Live an outstanding life and receive exorbitant benefits and salary when you join the capitalistic entrepreneurs who will pay you top dollar for your knowledge.
