| Jul 9, 2019 at 23:58 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | @Aleksandr Could you give some idea of which country and which education system you are referring to? Several answers below are quite US-centric, since that is the environment the authors know best; but they do seem to drift towards assuming the North American model applies everywhere. If you are mainly interested in the US, then maybe indicate this in your question | |

So that's just not accurate. | |

| Jul 9, 2019 at 8:00 | comment | added | A Simple Algorithm | Actually it's even worse than that. Your "research on the side" may consist mostly of writing grant proposals to fund others in your lab who do the actual research. In fairness though, this fits under both research and teaching categories as you are supposed to be training those lab members via this process. | |

| Jul 8, 2019 at 22:47 | comment | added | Aleksandr | So, usually mathematicians are not paid to do research, but instead do research on the side and teach to make a living? | |
