It just depends on so much. Their level of appointment, If they hold terminal degree, where the teach, the subject (engineering, health-related, science profs usually make more than say, liberal arts).
As someone mentioned, a lecturer can very well make in the $20- 30,000's. About what a secondary teacher earns. They can also be paid per class or per hour, no benefits, and there's not a lot of job security. makes for good experience or a part-time job if you have another job. I'm not knocking anyone that does this, but I just think people with advanced degrees should be paid what thay are worth and should have job security.
An associate/assistant prof with a Ph.D can easily earn $40-50,000.
Full Prof/Chair of department $60,000+
Beyond this, you are definitely talking about a dean or tenured track who can make well into $70-100,000.

Well, both have their ups and downs... Isn't there any chance to have them both? I know someone who has a full time job at a high school, but is also an asociate assistant professor at the local college... I don't know if this is possible in your part of the world, but you should try to find out! Personally I daydream about becoming BOTH a college professor and a high school teacher.... I hope I'll get to do these two things, be it at the same time or at different point in my future career.... Good luck to you!!!

It depends on what they are teaching and whether or not they have tenure. It also depends on where they work. If they work in a community college they are more likely to earn less than if they work at a university. The answer to this varies.

Since I am not a professor, I don't know.

It depends on the school that they teach at, their rank, and years of experience.
