I’m on the map
April 25th, 2006 by SplineGuy
Good news!! I found out today that my salary is getting a bump upward. I’m getting a raise and my salary finally shows up somewhere on the map of Faculty Salaries for Assistant Professors of Mathematics at Bachelor’s degree granting institutions (see below). Sure, I always wish I could do better. But I no longer feel like I am being penalized for my commitment to Christian Education and to the mission of Wayland Baptist University.

CONGRATULATIONS! Its always nice to be ‘on the map’. I’m still about 3000 below.
Wee haw! Way to go! Maybe someday, you’ll get paid what you’re worth (a lot more), in my estimation anyway. We are so proud of you for staying with your commitment.
Since I just received tenure and a promotion to associate prof., I’m sure it’d be OK if I trot this down to my dean’s office and tell him I’m looking forward to my $10K/yr raise.
Seriously, I was actually kind of surprised at the jump in median salaries, and at the fact that the Q3 for assistant was greater than the Q1 for associate. I guess there’s a lot of variation out there, and I suppose also that profs stay at associate prof level a lot longer than they do at assistant prof level, which would explain the size of the jump.
Are these data for all math departments in the US whose highest degree is a bachelor’s? Or is it for schools just of Wayland’s Carnegie classification, or what?
Way to go, Keep hanging in, be sure the Lord will continue to
bless
This data is from a national survey and this table represents any schools that offer only up to a bachelor’s degree. There are several other tables available through the AMS site. They do annual serveys and the schools in each category are listed on the site linked to in the post.
Congrats! The next round of guacamole is on you, right?
