If you get a tenured position, it can be a $100k/year job. Tenured jobs are harder and harder to get, and adjuncts are compensated badly.

I think "associate professor" is the untenured position, regardless they seem to be all 100k +... even in Canadia:

The untenured position is really a sessional instructor, which I'm sure also goes by different names, but involves zero job security and extremely shitty pay. It's not a salaried position, it's a "per course you teach that semester" position.

Associate Professors are usually tenured. Assistant Professors usually aren't.

This is true for some fields, at some schools. Median salary for an associate professor (the first rank with tenure) at my institution is 63k.
