      No, It’s changed pretty much every year, sometimes every 6 months. Most universities have a scale that you go up one notch once a year, and if you ask for promotion you can jump up a band. The salary scales are open to the public – if you search for them you can find them!

      For a PhD you have something called a stipend — it isn’t technically a salary because it isn’t payment for work you’ve done, it’s money to let you do work if that makes sense. It goes up a bit every year, and I get paid for teaching too. The teaching money increases as I become more experienced

      So far, but I’m still quite new. My salary works the same way that Espeth’s does – in bands, so it can change.
