Work / University professor salary in Poland? [16]
One thing I'm trying to research is, what is a reasonable expectation for a university professor/lecturer's salary in Poland? Say, at Warsaw or the Jagiellonien (sp?). My husband is wanting to make a career move, and we could go to the States, but I thought he might have a better opportunity getting a job as an English professor in Poland (there are SO MANY English Ph.D's fighting over the jobs in the U.S.). He's semi-interested except he thinks he'll make "nothing". Of course I wouldn't think you could expect what he makes now (approx C$6,000/month), but wouldn't a professor make something like 5-6,000 zl. a month? Or am I just "whistling Dixie" here? (What Southerners and Texans say to mean, "you are not being realistic!") Thanks for any feedback.
