How much should chemistry profs earn?

Germany’s highest court stated on Tuesday that thousands of professors in the country are being short changed, and ruled that their pay must be raised by the end of the year.

But how much should a professor be earning? The chemistry professor at the University of Marburg who filed the lawsuit earns a basic salary of approximately €3900 (£3240) per month – a sum that he and the court agree is inadequate compared with what other civil servants earn.

But is nearly £40,000 per year really too little? How does this compare with pay for professors where you are?
