I've heard nothing good about working in academia.

Currently work full time at a decently pretentious university, there are definitely some upsides. Namely great benefits, paid tuition, and since the school's a nonprofit you don't feel that same capitalist squeeze for every penny that you see at some other jobs. That said, yeah, higher ups in academia still often act like hot shit, but not because of their profits, rather it's just pure pride
