I'm always puzzled by the Hollywood tendency to depict as academics as these detached, wealthy almost-patrician figures - fancy suits, expensive cars, fine wines and well-appointed offices. What schools did all of these screen-writers go to? And are they hiring?

Now, to be clear, at least on the tenure-track, professors are hardly poor. TT starting salaries in the humanities are usually something like 1.5-2x the median personal income (note, *personal* not household) in the USA.

But we're hardly talking cigar-chomping-in-our-wood-paneled-offices money there, even for successful, late-career academics.

This was a really weird experience as an ivy league grad student - there was the actual special club you'd see for extremely fancy dinners a few times a year (special lectures/parties) that was like that, then the rest of the year you were on grad student money.

It sometimes seemed to me that some professors who brought graduate students out to various outings sometimes seemed to have forgotten what a graduate stipend was like. Not all, to be sure, but some.
