Varmaan sekรค ulkoinen & sisรคinen paine. Mutta jos alkuperรคinen kysymyksesi pohti lehtoria vs tenure proffaa, niin lehtorin tehdessรค tutkimusta ja saadessa ulkopuolista rahaa, kyse on positiivisesta ekstrasta (vau!). Proffalle suhtautuminen: Miksei enemmรคn tuotoksia? Mutta proffuudessa muita plussia!

Tรคmรค tuntuu vaihtelevan paljon yliopistoittain ja ihan sopimuksenkin mukaan. Kokemusta on kaikista mainituista hommista ja ajattelen, ettรค tenurella on huomattavasti enemmรคn neuvotteluvaraa kuin lehtorilla, mutta neuvotella tod. nรคk. tรคytyy/kannattaa. Monenlaista painetta on kyllรค muuten enemmรคn.
