MBAs and Small Specialty Nurseries -addendum

Not too many 6-figure salaries in 4-year state colleges, other than those of
the deans, the provost and the prez. If people knew in graduate school what
kinds of markets they faced with their newly-minted PhDs, and realistically
assessed their chances of landing one of the few decent jobs out there, they
would drop out immediately and take up something more promising, like
picking tomatoes.

We should maybe return to bulbs before someone (correctly) chastises me for
leading us astray...

devoted myself full-time to the nursery, I made under 10K in my first year,
and
the net crept upward over the next 12 years to around 72K last year."

Contrast that to the yearly income of professors at some schools - said to
be in
the six figure range!
