Rocket Scientist Reveals His Salary as a UCLA Professor Has Left Him Homeless

You would think with a notable title in astrophysics would bring in, at the very least, a livable wage, right? Apparently not in California.

Dr. Daniel McKeown, an astrophysics professor at UCLA, went viral on TikTok after sharing that his $70,000 salary left him homeless, forcing him to keep his belongings in a storage unit and couch-hop with the help of friends.

He also mentions that he requested a raise for a $100,000 salary and was denied.

His video has since sparked discussion about academic salaries. Turns out those people saying "it's not rocket science" might be wrong.
