Thanks!

I was a former undergrad student (majored in business) and am now full-time staff with UMCP.

I figured you either had to be staff or an engineering/plant science student since no one hardly ever walks past lot KK.

Cool! Yeah I usually leave from the back exit of the chemical engineering building. I've been looking for your car again ever since I saw It that one day. Sorry if I seem kind of stalkerish, but I was excited to see another Z in the community. I hardly ever see any 370Z's outside of our weekly Starbucks meets.

If you named some of your Chem E. professors I could most likely tell you what they drive as they all park in that lot haha.

The gunmetal E46 M3 you see parked out there belongs to a professor as well.

Well I come out of that door that is right ahead of the parking lot, so I never really look back at the cars that are there. I could just go down the list of my professors, but I'll just PM it to you. I am interested in what cars they drive. I thought you might have been one of my professors too at first

I wish I was one of the professors... if I made what some of them are making right now I wouldn't be in a 370Z

Yeah, but even if they do have really nice cars campus is probably the worst place to bring them. For those who do, they probably just bring their DD.

Just out of curiosity, how much do you think that they make?

Well I remember one day in our school's newspaper they published some of the professor's salaries. I didn't read the article myself, but heard from other people that they were making 6 figure salaries.

Well I used to do the payroll and accounting for that department so I know exactly how much they all make.

As for a basic breakdown...

Graduate students and researchers: 27k - 31k (depending on time there)

Postdocs: ~40k

Faculty (depending on title and tenure): ranges from 67k as far up as 200k+ for chair/department heads

Then there are some special cases where a professor is being paid by two departments and they cap out even higher.
