Other than that, the whole entire year you work on your own research and present at annual marketing..finance.. operations conferences.. depending on what field you are in.. you get to stay at nice hotels and meet smart people..
he's paid 15k per month only 32 years old. damn.

US universities pay 9-months usually and the rest depends on funding that the professor can find. Actually professors' pay in Singapore is higher than that in US in average. More so considering the much lower tax here.
