Hey , Michael . Remember me ? I'm Becky . We used to work at Lemans together .   Oh , sure . How are you ? Long time no see . How are things at Lemans ?   It's about the same . I've been thinking of making a change myself . Do you mind if I ask you a few things about your job at the university ?   No , not at all . Go ahead .   Well , I was wondering what the salaries are like ? I mean ... are they much lower than the corporate world ?   Well , I can't speak for all universities , but my salary is a definitely lower than at Lemans . I just don't think the salaries are comparable when you leave a major corporation .   Yeah , that's what I thought . But , I've heard that the perks are better . I was wondering if that was really true .   I'd have to say yes and no on that . I don't get a big end-of-the-year bonus like I did at Lemans but I get to take classes for free if I want to . I've always wanted to get a graduate degree so I'm taking classes now to do that .
