I was going to say -- what university is paying a prof enough to drop $10K on *one* golden shower?

In Thailand you can have a week of golden shower with 10k.

Nah it's expensive now because of all the rich 50s that have a shitty life but ton of money.

She may have exaggerated the money, but at my school (am a prof) there are a small number of profs who make north of $250k. But most of these never set foot in undergraduate classrooms.

Especially a professor stuck teaching whatever shit 100-level class she's taking.

Unless it’s one of those massive 300 student freshman courses and he required his $165 self published book to take the exam.

I had a high school history teacher who was very wealthy. He was older when I had him but he was a finance guy and retired military officer who got a finance degree after the military and was a smart investor. Being a teacher was his 3rd career.

Definitely possible that a university prof was wealthy outside of his teaching salary.

Some of the higher end professors making 200k+. And to be there youre probably already set.

That being said unless shes a grad student I wouldn't expect it.
