Is there a difference in the earning between a professor at UoN and University of Eldoret?
What about the earning between professor in engineering and in arts?
I plan to work in this rat race for a few years before shifting to motherland in my sunset years to work there.
Academia na earnings ni kama lithium n water…hazitambuani…hustle ukirudi motherland ufungue private college n hostels “brothels” kando ukule skul fees ya generation wamlambez uondokee rat race…
Otherwise gud luck driving yua jalopy in traffic rushing to yua next lecture…shifting between 3 different colleges to make ends meet
A lecturer who just finished his PhD?: 90-150k
3: Prof: 300-350k
However, I would add the compensation structure is quite diverse. Local universities will also give you contracts but chances are that you will never get paid.
The trick is to moonlight in various campuses. Omba kibarua Karatina, Kimathi, Maasai Mara or Kabianga and other medium universities that have better payment record. Ndio Moja ikilipa 60k angalau ulee wife. At JKUAT you have to write a note to request payment each month. I tell you there is a room full of those notes because most teaching staff never get paid. But avoid these Kenyan universities. Shida tupu
Why should they always compete me driving Peugeot 504? Why do senior lecturers love this jalop? Mimi I love it because I own it and I had no option but to buy it. people with good salary need good vehicles not Peddler cars
Ujanjez ni research grants. That’s where the money is. If you’re in a good field, iva applying for research grants. You spend less than 50% on research na use the rest.
350-600k. But you have to be a very lazy prof, or a mugenda minted KU Prof to earn less than 500k a month. A proper UoN earned professorship should open very many consultancy doors for you…I have a cousin prof who makes 5m on a bad month…all from consultancies
