I think there's "professors" and there's "professors." My mother taught at a handful of scattered community colleges and alternative medicine schools. She probably spent 3-4 hours a day on the road during the bad times. Even with my dad's cushy gig at the national lab there were always money fights. On the other hand, my brother in law is a tenured professor at a big NW college. Their house is substantially larger than mine. I mean yeah it's in the middle of nowhere but still.
