I guess it depends on what you plan on doing and how much you plan on charging for your time. I plan on doing what most of my professors do: teach at XYZ university for one flat salary with benefits, do research (depending on where you get your funding there's almost always a stipend for you included in that), and either work as part of a practice or in a community agency on the days I'm not teaching. Sounds like a lot but they are typically able to fit that into a typical work week schedule (meaning about 40 hours a week still or less in most of their cases) and between the three spots they are making very good money. In addition, most of them write book chapters for which they get paid and do consulting and training work for agencies and businesses which depending on what you are doing is upwards of 2,000 for your appearance for about two hours of your time. And I know some psychologists that won't book their time for less than the whole day for which they charge much more than 2K depending on how many people they are having to work with. And there are still court appearances, state evaluations and custody things they do as time permits or cases demand.
