Message: [QUOTE="JoeSU, post: 118805, member: 309"] The quality of your education and the University's reputation (and that value of your degree) is ultimately based on the quality of the faculty. Where would MIT, Duke, Stanford, U. Chicago and Cal Tech be without their faculty? Aside from the humanities, most PhDs would stand to earn considerably greater salaries in the private sector. I have no insider knowledge of the SU faculty salary distribution, but I would guess a majority fall in the $75-200K range, which after investing an additional 4-7 years in graduate school (plus one or more stints as a post-doc), is not my idea of "bloated".
