I could easily give examples of humanities professors who hardly do any teaching at all and who are paid six-figure annual salaries (Stanley Fish, for example) and underpaid mathematicians and physicists who are devoted and overworked (and who certainly could leave at any time and double their salaries). The "womens studies" profs I knew got mad when I showed up and said where is the men's studies classes in this institution. Are you aware of any men's studies type classes in any university - they were non existent in my colleges. As to humanities versus physics - it always irked me that the person teaching some recent political fad was paid as much as a prof that fundamentally opened up the doors of the universe to me and gave me very deep understanding of why things happen they way they do backed up by science and repeatable results - not the latest politco pundit book - hehe. Still - you can download feynmans lectures off the net - one of the great teachers I hear.
