The professor’ s salary made me happy because I am currently doing my masters in Public health. A person must just keep pushing😅😂

[@liferesetwithboni]

Oh ! All the best!!!

[@eutrupiagarises6819]

Note professor comes with a phd and years of consistent publication. It’s not actually the hours it’s the consistent research.

[@angelcele950]

Exactly I am also doing masters and it is not bad

I am in HR and I would highly recommend that when you receive the offer, consider requesting a dummy payslip to understand deductions and benefits. It's also a good idea to set up a call with their HR or the person who sent you the offer to discuss the structure, ensuring clarity on your net pay before accepting. Many companies are open to accommodate these requests. Don't accept without a dummy payslip. Every company should send you one.

[@liferesetwithboni]

Thanks

[@mbusosiera1648]

Its time South Africa universities recruit the best black South African graduates to be junior lectures and groom them to be senior lectures to professors, than recruiting foreigners, enrol them for masters degrees in research, giving them stipends and paying their full intuition while groom them to be lectures and professors over our local best graduates!

[@liferesetwithboni]

I wouldn't know what's happening in Academia but I get you!

[@Omnist-]

Tuks does that already. They are grooming their students to be researchers

[@sizwetyhali961]

It is already happening, there is the National Research Foundation's (NRF) Black Academics Advancement Programme (BAAP) and also their New Generation of Academics Programme (nGAP) that does what you are talking about. The caveat is that you need to complete your Masters and pass with at least 70% to be eligible for the nGAP programme and for the BAAP programme you must already hold a position as a lecturer in a public university.

[@sandileblessing2909]

On the question of hours per week, there are no fixed hours. When I was lecturing, basically, I was at the office from 07h00 to 16h00, but I would also work at night. You also have to supervise students, mark assignments and scripts, write papers for publication, attend training seminars, proposal defences, research dissemination, attend academic conferences, etc. If you are a professor, you also supervise masters and PhD students and be engaged in university administration.

[@liferesetwithboni]

Mmmm, that's long hours! It's quite a demanding journey, but I'm sure fulfilling.

To calculate net pay after getting that job, just kindly request a dummy payslip from the Hr Practitioner. I am answering the question at 5:44 min of the video.

[@liferesetwithboni]

Okay, thanks, someone is suggesting a mock payslip.

[@sage_bs]

@@liferesetwithbonihi Sisi Boni. I believe the terms are interchangeable “dummy or mock payslip”. Also, I believe besides asking for a dummy payslip, the gentleman in the email may be speaking from the point of knowing what amount you want and negotiate saying that you want, for example, 20k nett.

[@affiliatesssw6940]

Professors dont paid based hours becuase there is more than just 9-5, Professors write articles, supervise postgraduate students and some lecture in addition to that, but people need to know that ,a life of a professor is 95% research and 5 % lecturing compared to a lecturer who will cry about workload and only teaching 2 times a week which is 19 hour per week..

[@bongekileskosana1229]

Honestly Bonnie, the first 3 payslips are at Junior Lecturer level. Also, the higher your degree, the more you get. Masters and PhD earns you a lot more. Additionally, Professors at my University, on average, earn more than the Prof. does, even though he does earn well. I guess it does come down to negotiating as well, how many students you’ve graduated & other activities you’re engaged in.

[@liferesetwithboni]

That's good to know!

[@kheshokakheshoka8758]

Well, the professor is also the director of a school in this regard, hence the extra R17000. So, he has extra managerial work as he may be supervising different departments. As such, he should be having very few hours of resting. Nevertheless, he is well compensated for such extras.

The private college is low but then also remember that they only have honors degree so it makes sense. Plus it’s a private college🤷🏽‍♀️

[@mzansistreets8027]

I hear you, but a teacher without an Honours degree earns more than twice as much in a public school.

[@khae74]

The amount of work in academia is not measured in hours. The time is not a factor of productivity. I am a senior lecturer in biology, so sometimes I go to the laboratory at 2 am during a weekend and spend 2 hrs. Sometimes I travel with students to collect samples for a week. I spend time reading articles and thesis outside office hours because I still have to prepare and do lectures during the office hours, carry administrative duties, raise research funds, engage with community through weekend consultations, seek collaborations, and write my own articles and book chapters. so, R1.2 millon is not even adequate for a Senior Lecturer since we work all the time. Professors should be paid at least R2 million annually

sorry to disappoint you. that prof must be in a clinical position, i.e. first studied medicine or dentistry. Non-clinical profs do not earn that much, but they are still working as much as clinical profs. Google Cost of employment (COE) ranges and costing information for permanent academic staff (2023) to see salary scales at UCT for a non-clinical prof. UCT pays the most, so profs at other SA universities earn much less, yet they must do the same amount of work
