That has improved. Back in 1998 I was managing £8k a year (!) part time, which was really a full time job, while being told I was privileged to have such a position at a prestigious university. With little experience I didn't know any better.

Woke up one day, said fuck it, pissed off my doctoral advisor, a somewhat rotten old tenured professor by suggesting that it wasn't worth doing this any more. Looked around and picked up a job for £26k within a month. Never looked back.
