Oh yeah! I was a full professor with an endowed professorship. Hooray for me! I also was in a system that had frozen raises for a few years, was demanding that we generate more and more revenue from the equine specialty hospital where I worked, and kept us increasingly uncompetitive in a market where specialized services were becoming more available outside of academic hospitals. I was fortunate that my research over the years positioned me for an offer in the animal health industry. Better hours, better pay, more resources, and more opportunities to develop and use new competencies. Oh, and when I left the university, I received all the frozen raises from the past couple years. A real win-win!
