to ask what people's impressions are of academics/the job role

[anotheracademic]

I see there are quite a few of us and also see from the recent money and salary threads how much people are earning, working conditions and qualifications .
Im wondering what non academics impressions are of what we do, what they think/thought we earn and what we are like.

Only 10 hours/6days a week, Penguin? Wow, what a slacker boss you've got! No chance for his promotion , then, poor guy.

Oh joy. Spending my day trying to sort out potentially suicidal student, non working day.
