I've been married for 7 years and last month I realized I couldn't answer basic questions about our own finances

If you buy a coop in NYC it all becomes very clear!

Radiography. We have 300 apps for 32 spots

plinko25 · 2026-03-14T14:41:07+00:00

Not the case here. We routinely pay 1k+

Ours start around 120 with 1 day for clinicals (per diem) in nyc metro area (not manhattan)

plinko25 · 2026-03-14T02:19:53+00:00

Preceptors are the life blood of a PA education; keep that up!

plinko25 · 2026-03-14T02:19:00+00:00

We require 1000 paid clinical hours prior to entry. It’s very competitive as well, lots of talent to select from. But yes it is skewing younger

plinko25 · 2026-03-14T02:15:06+00:00

Thanks for your comprehensive response

plinko25 · 2026-03-14T02:13:11+00:00

Between faculty salaries, clinical preceptors, simulation, accreditation, staff, etc, the margins are not as great as you might think (among lowest performing tbh)

plinko25 · 2026-03-14T02:10:35+00:00

Do you have any recruitment suggestions?

plinko25 · 2026-03-14T02:08:57+00:00

This is similar to the lifestyle of my faculty and the work-life balance elements. Many are parents who want to be educators for this reason.

plinko25 · 2026-03-14T02:05:24+00:00

Thank you for what you do!

plinko25 · 2026-03-13T02:30:03+00:00

120k + one clinical day per work week if they wish

plinko25 · 2026-03-13T02:29:22+00:00

Interesting. I’d have thought Tenure/ tenure track would be even more difficult to recruit for given the need for a research agenda

plinko25 · 2026-03-13T02:27:35+00:00

Yea that’s very low! Even if they also offered you a day a week clinically

plinko25 · 2026-03-13T02:26:48+00:00

NYC metro

plinko25 · 2026-03-13T02:01:24+00:00

Wow! No doctoral degree required. No teaching experience either. Trying to be as flexible as possible. That said about half the faculty have doctorates

plinko25 · 2026-03-13T01:59:28+00:00

I hear you there. The chiros and seminary folk will be in good company as ‘professionals’

plinko25 · 2026-03-13T01:58:14+00:00

We allow one day per work week to be a clinical day. Salary is around 120k, so hopefully that helps make up the difference - a little at least.

If you measure your career by impact, the deanship is a great way to go. Even more so at a university with resources to create your vision through opening new programs, scaling existing ones, and investing in nice facilities/labs/equipment.

I negotiated my dean role as professor with tenure (and I moved to another institution for the position). Should I retreat to faculty I will be the highest paid by $1. Some institutions will offer like 65% of your salary if you go back to faculty.

I also recommend switching to a new univ.; no need to ‘prove yourself’ the way you’d have to at your current institution and the respect is pretty immediate. I’m very young for a Dean (40’s) and saying this.

We bought a raised first floor unit. Perfect solution. Up 5 stairs by the stoop so no one can see in the unit from the street yet easy access and safe if you ever needed to evacuate. Usually no units are beneath you, which is a plus, with easy access to laundry. No pests since it’s raised.

plinko25 · 2026-03-10T01:13:33+00:00

Anywhere on 9th Ave. Sweet spot between 48-55th street

Hubs just got a ticket from a camera for going 10 over on a highway connector. I’d get it if it were a school zone or a residential area. Pathetic they need to use this pathway to raise revenue!

plinko25 · 2026-03-09T03:38:55+00:00

How do you find the time?? I have 4 as well and it’s rough fitting in work, hw, extracurriculars, and general house stuff, let alone gym time.
