The TDT paper is particularly difficult to write, and will require many months of work even from someone as skilled as Rachael. It's hard to figure out which points to emphasize and how to present the ideas, and then it's doubly hard to figure out how to squeeze 200 pages worth of material into the 20-30 pages that is suitable for journal publication.

Academics make peanuts, relatively speaking.

Tenured professors often make less than $100k a year. Adjunct professors tend to make much less than $20k per year per school they're teaching at.
