You don't need that much to become a non-tenure track professor at most of these schools. You need even less to be a gun for hire style adjunct who teaches a full-time course load at the school while never even being an official employee.
The guy probably is fairly green relatively speaking, and teaches a mandatory large lecture hall entry level course as either a full-time but low-level professorship position with no possibility of tenure (which also comes often with lower salaries than the more competitive tenure track positions), or he's a "full-time adjunct" who often do get paid poverty wages for their work.
It's not atypical for the entire teaching payment for a single section of a 4 credit lab course to be only $4-5k. If you're only teaching one section, and this is your sole source of income for a 10 week semester (as they do in the UC system), you're not going to be living well on that salary and will need to find a real job elsewhere to make enough to afford an apartment.

It depends on the market you work in and what schools are looking for people. At the institution where I am a grad student, of you take on 4 sections of a 3 credit course per semester (about 30 hours of work including grading) as a contracted adjunct (as opposed to a full-time emoloyee post-doc) you'll get about $20k for 14 weeks worth of work. This is not a bad supplemental income, but it's not great considering you need a graduate education to even apply.

You can find studio apartments in Koreatown for less than $1500. Commuting is easy too because the 720 rapid bus runs straight down Wilshire in the bus lanes directly to Westwood. In a couple more years the subway will run there as well so no car needed. This guy should easily be able to make it on his salary.

If he could do both then he should be making above $140k/year, as he stated a normal professor makes. He said the university also lied about having bargaining rights upon hiring, so their hand is corrupted and untrustworthy as it is.
It looks to me they bought him at a bargain and refuse to renege his price, and found it fiscal to sack him and diversify his workload on someone else...maybe even another $70k/year "lecturer/professor/whatever".

Metro Los Angeles has over twelve million people. Why does an astronomy program need to be in the middle of such a large city? The State of California has plenty of schools in low density areas with much lower COL. $70,000 is a struggle in Los Angeles, especially if you were to live anywhere near UCLA's Westwood campus.
Meanwhile the University of California at Davis is in a town of about 70,000 and two thirds of that population is associated with the university. If you want to learn or teach astronomy, your money will go much further there.

Most astronomy is done remotely these days via telescopes located in Hawaii, Chile, outer space etc. The days of the astronomer sitting at his telescope on a mountaintop in the freezing cold are long gone. A top researcher will want to live in a city with access to cultural amenities, entertainment, sports, good weather, good schools etc. LA ticks all those boxes perfectly. LA also has a shitload of consulting opportunities with all the tech and aerospace companies if they want to earn additional cash.

So you admit it is a choice of someone who wants to walk to the barcade and not at all about astronomy. Thanks for accidentally being honest for once about your hive fetish. Fact is the guy could simply teach somewhere with a lower cost of living but he wants "access" to high cost of living amenities. That's a choice and not even one based on academic concerns, showing once again all the "what does this say about our education system" is just another cover for people who want others to shower them with free stuff.
Dude can go teach at any of several hundred schools and have a good life. But he MUST be in a city of twelve million or his life is ruined.

In one of his posts he says he needs more money so he can afford to live near campus in Westwood, one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Los Angeles. He's unwilling to commute to work like millions of other do every day.
This map is from 2017 but shows prices relative to each other. And this is just the central part of the metro. Lots of people commute in from places like Thousand Oaks that have much lower costs of living. He's just another person who thinks he should start his career at the top.

4 classes per quarter, 16 classes a year, 875 dollars per student
If he has 400 students and teaches 3 times a year, its still really far from 5 million
But its a general trend i see with schools, such as language academies like Berlitz. You see these schools are just rented buildings, teachers do all the work and get like less than 10% of the cash paid by students. A testament to stupidity, it isnt like Berlitz owns the means of production, anyone can just hire a private teacher for much less and the teacher still earns more.

Looks like he has lived in metro Los Angeles and San Francisco for all his life, which means he was well aware of the cost of living when he accepted the position. He links to a lot of stories about climate change and environmental justice, which really shouldn't be an area of focus for an astronomer.
Seems like he thought he could shame the university into giving him a raise through bad publicity. The homeless claim is preposterous. He obviously knows lots of people in LA and he isn't living in a cardboard box. He called himself homeless because he can't cover his bills, which isn't the same thing as sleeping outdoors, though it can eventually lead to that, especially if one has no social network, which obviously isn't the case for him. He openly states he will only live in Westwood near campus and refuses to commute from further away where rent is lower.
The university had to take a zero-tolerance stand on his hysterics or it would have unleashed a flood of employees doing similar things. He's lucky that he has been able to shortcut his way into a school with the prestige of UCLA, even as a lowly lecturer. If he wants to be a professor, he needs to go spend time in the boondocks at a lower tier school to amp up his credentials, and then move back to the big city with a better position. Go teach at Ball State in Muncie, Indiana, instead of the metro of 12 million where the only stars you can see are those selling their souls to Hollywood.

Two wrinkles:
He's paying over $2000 on student loans each month. I'm sure someone can figure out how much in loans he took to end up paying that much even with the interest rates being artificially low.
The other is that he decided to stop teaching his classes in person and instead gave students links to videos of past lectures. It appears his plan was to simply give out links to videos each term. If he wasn't going to lecture in person, why would he even need to live next to campus? People familiar with UCLA say even lecturers get graders and graduate teaching assistants, so exactly what work was he going to do for the $70,000 the university was paying him.

If he's been borrowing since entering undergrad and kept borrowing until he got his Ph.D. in 2022, it would be impossible to calculate because each year would be a new set of loans, each with its own set of interest rates, which have varied wildly over the past decade. If he did a consolidation loan after graduation that came out to have a weighted interest rate of 5%, the loan would be around $375,000. That at least gives a ball park figure, assuming he's telling the truth about the size of his loan payment.

See my comments in other treads stating precisely these facts. Being a "really, really smart Astro-blah-blah" never has and never will pay well and you will always be dependent on government welfare. The minute it's gone, you'll be making lattes with all the other "smart, cool 30-somethings" working at Starbucks.
The days of living a life of leisure as a "Tenured Professor" for 30-40 years are LONG GONE and never should've been in the first place. It created an environment of unimaginable entitlement and greed that has destroyed Higher Learning the world over. You'll also notice that almost all of the World's "great....." dropped out of school, or realized that owning a business and hiring smart people is better than trying to prove you are one to everyone else, which just reeks of insecurity.
"Modern Academia" is run from top to bottom by 100% Leftists. They have no one to blame but themselves for abysmal state of their own "profession". but it's still not their fault......It never is.

Depends on what the family considers a success. History is full of scientists, writers, and philosophers who were able to produce their works due to support from their family. For many of those families, that member is the only reason why anyone remembers the family at all.
This is different than becoming an aimless NEET who does nothing but consume entertainment. There certainly have been some of them in wealthy families over the centuries too, though that's a more affordable "luxury" for the middle class now, while in the past only the wealthiest of families could support such deadweight in addition to children and the elderly.

You can trade sex for grades or "borrow" university property and the administration will cover it up but go after the administrators and you're toast. He's not going to be hired by any school anywhere near as high profile as UCLA now. He's going to end up somewhere like Georgia Southern University that has little choice in who they hire because no one wants to live in Statesboro, Georgia if they have other options.

Which is still very wealthy, all things considered. Once the rent is taken care of the price of goods is basically identically across the nation.
Assume you're paying $2500 a month for rent, and you have a take-home of $70k after taxes.
That's $40k left over to pay for groceries, gas, student loans, and everything else.
Groceries and gas might be a little more expensive in LA, but not nearly as much as housing. But that $40k is more than the entire average income in several states.

I think the issue is bigger than sports though. Kids applying to college generally don't give a shit about their education.

100% this. If the man really cared about wealth he'd be building wealth instead of whining about how a job that is SUPPOSED to pay nothing pays nothing.

Agreed. I'm fine with poor people who are really passionate about their research going into academia, but then they shouldn't complain about the money, which they are getting from taxpayer's pockets.
The reward is getting to do interesting research, often using expensive publically funded equipment. No one owes you a good salary for it.

What are you talking about?
The secondary education system of the United States is FILLED TO THE BRIM with corruption, racketeering, and pyramid schemes.
Or do you really believe that the amount of students being slung through the meat grinder of windmill degrees that require nearly 2 years of "General Education" classes that have nothing to do with the degree field they are trying to obtain degree for, is somehow "the way"?
The only tard here, is you.
Fuck off, dipshit.
This isn't even about politics. You brought that here, because you are small minded.

Unnamed TA here.
He got reported up the chain for profiting off the job because he has been uploading classwork to Youtube.
From a legal perspective, this is a no-no, without the express permission of the institution.
Secondly, if a student's work is presented in this way without the student's permission, it breaks the student privacy laws, you know shit like FERPA.
This guy is a dumbass and is playing a false victim card.
He fucked up, he isn't talking about that on his videos.

Wait, so are you telling me when Americans talk about student loans they are including loans for daily expenses like food and rent the whole time?
Is that why you're all so fucked? You have a culture of living on credit for up to 10 years?
In that case get fucked, you niggers deserve to suffer for that behavior.

Wow, I never realized the "no homework threads" rule was that severe or far reaching. Jannies are extremely powerful.

If you want to study you need to either work and study less or just study and have someone else pay for it. I didnt pay anything because i was just living in my house with my parents and my mom just cooked for me and washed my clothes and my dad worked to bring money. I just studied.
Later on in life i found out there were people that studied in university, worked and also were married with kids. Holy shit

You can be homeless without literally being in the streets. This is a common misconception that couch surfing doesn't count as homeless.

The state of California would have more money to pay their state university system's professors with if they weren't spending all their money on gibes for illegal immigrants.

What's up with people becoming professors having absolutely no clue how poor or generally treated like shit they're gonna be? Do they just go in completely blind, asking nobody before deciding their whole career?
