How on earth do these professors make so much money? Are people donating money to YU so the university can pay these giant salaries?
I went into the wrong profession.
Joe emails: "Luke, you really need to get out in the real world. It is a surprise to you that a chairman of a department of obstetrics makes $500,000? A practicing obstetrician in the community makes more than that! (I suppose I better not tell you what I make.)"
