1) I have 2 young daughters and abortion has been restricted in NC 2) closest family members live in Maryland and now will be 30 minutes away vs 6 hours 3) NC hates higher ed, few raises and 10 years of salary inversion. Getting a 25k raise to move... 4) Mark Robinson is scary

Once my old apartment had a steam pipe burst and we all had to evacuate. That is when I found out the reason all the mice hung out in my apt was everyone else in my no pet apt bldg had a cat. Immediately adopted a cat, who lived with me for 15 years before he died.

While I'm sharing fun facts from this survey: The average college grad with loans in their late 30s also earns significantly less (~$66,000 at age 36 in 2017 dollars) than the average college grad who avoided them (~83,000 at age 36)

The difference in salaries between an R2 in a red state and an R1 in a blue state...my teaching load is also going down a bit (3-2 to a 2-2) and they have much better benefits, including free tuition for my kids and much cheaper and better health insurance for my family.

My cat Foo died yesterday. 😥 I got him in '05 when he was a kitten and I was a 2nd yr grad student. He has seen 2 other cats and 3 dogs come and go, was cool with me moving in a spouse + 2 kids, and was a friend to all. For the first time in 19 years I don't have a cat. RIP Foo.

Honest answer, it's because maintaining that women are worse at math is an important justification men have for why they get paid more, see: hegemonic masculinity (forms of masculinity that maintain men's power in society by reinforcing ideologies like "women are bad at math")

Remember that awesome article "The power of the pill" by Goldin/Katz on how the birth control pill changed so much? Increasingly I want to write a paper on "The power of the (GI) bill" because so much of the past 80 years of US family and gender life is shaped by that bill.

I think mine helped me stand out and get into grad school after attending a low ranked regional public school for undergrad. Relying on LORs and GPA seems to favor those who attended elite undergrad schools where profs have connections and grades are sometimes inflated.

State and federal governments used to cover 70% of the costs of public higher Ed in the 1980s, and now only cover 50% or less. Stagnating public funding and cuts in face of rising demand and populations is the major culprit. Admin costs may be an issue but not a 20% budget issue.
