I have recently been working in a university on the project management team, and I will say, the culture and environment in higher end is certainly more laid back and chill. Definitely still has a ton of bureaucracy and politics, but the pace is much slower and nicer.

DM’d! Thank you

Probably a third of those jobs are going away over the next 20-25 years. Between outrageous tuition and AI higher ed is in real trouble. Add to that the demographic cliff is shrinking the number of student every year for the next two decades and lots of schools will be gutting budgets, consolidating programs, or closing.

You’re already seeing it even at top 100 US schools.

Yeah not concerned about this at all, Ty though!

Get a PhD , start from being an assistant to full professor (which will require you to publish paper, backing from professors and building a cred in that university) , then think about being a dean. It’s a tenure based role so you may want to get out of consulting asap . You are looking at investing 20+ years if not more.

Or start with teaching K12 and make your way from there. Consulting is the last place to ask this, you need to start with having a chat with your university professors
