Sorry to hear that. The so-called “true poverty” line in NJ for a family of three is $70,327. It’s incredible to have a PhD and be below the adjusted poverty line for the state. Isn’t NJ incredibly expensive to live in? I’ve seen some crazy rent prices.
You make less than 64K/year as a tenured professor in NJ? The average tenured-professor salary in New Jersey is $105,880 as of September 01, 2024.
I’m guessing some of this is on you and your choices somehow.
Yeah, not news to me. That’s just the breaks, man. Can’t all work as grantwriters at an R1 or in a med school.
