I'm going for a doctorate in math. How much should expect pay wise once I begin working as a professor at a junior college?

>> No.394310

>>394308

You'll probably only find work as an adjunct, so maybe $36-45k/yr, assuming your in America

>> No.394313

>>394310
Woah. That's pretty low.

>> No.394327

>>394313

Not sure why you would want a Ph D in only math.

Did you never consider what job you would get, or did you just think that you would become a "math doer" after college?

>> No.394332

>>394310

This is pretty close.

>> No.394333

>>394313

It might be a bit higher on the west coast.

>> No.394347

You're getting a doctorate in math and asking 4chan about numbers.

>> No.394592

I'd say at least $300k starting.

>> No.394601

>>394347

lol this

and one would think that you would have already looked this up when you considered this path

some I'm gonna call bullshit on this one

>> No.394603

>>394313

Yes it is.

Might I suggest a better job for someone that's good at math would be a quant developer or some other role in an algorithmic trader of some sort?

$300k starting.

>> No.394628

The average is 60k.

>> No.394777

please. mathematicians are one of the groups growing in demand right now. Starting 100k easy

>> No.394779

you have no idea what you're talking about.

In my math department (here in Canada), tenured professors make about $150k a year.
Which means they've been teaching ever since they got their doctorate.

19 years old and working for my future PHD in mathematics. Don't let this thread go to shit.

>> No.396339

are you fixed on academia?

>> No.396340

300k starting OP. You're spending years of your life dedicated to the science of maths. You'll be compensated for your knowledge.

>> No.396342

>>396339
No, I just want to teach at a small college. A junior college or at most a state university.

>> No.396380

>>396342

AHAHAHAHAHA

NO MONEY NO MONEY WASTE OF DEGREE

Think of how many cunts graduate, think of how few relative jobs there are for math teachers to math grads. Also, it's bitch work and useless. Either work for someone doing something or reside yourself to poverty. No one goes into teaching for the money.

>> No.396387

Nah, there are plenty of positions available.

High pay and high growth.

quants, actuaries, and programmers/algo guys in "hard" or trendy fields such as finance, ai, or some computational research lab make loads of money. this >>396342 will not make you anything.

I looked up a junior college's pay for a math teacher. $50/hr.
