$100K isn't big bucks? LOL. Am I reading this right?
And how will you get the money to pay for school and go for 5 years without insurance and a job?

You might like it better teaching at a community college or just having a University lecturer type position. You can get those jobs with a master's.They don't pay $100K though. If you're not really into research, the Ph.D is going to be a very trying slog.

LOL. Look at what UF has to say: http://warrington.ufl.edu/fsoa/programs/phd/faq.asp
If you click on the question "Who should apply?", it says:
"Our program is designed for students who desire an academic position at a
top university to engage in innovative and influential research. You
should not apply if your primary goal for getting a PhD is to teach."
Of course, UF is a snotty school anyway.

To get an idea of what acct professors do research on,
check a university you may be interested in (or really
any..) and go to the acct faculty page and then research.
They usually at least have lists of publications that
made it into journals, or research they are working out.
I've found it's really not as narrow as you would think,
a lot of acct profs do research on statistics, economics,
finance, info systems ect.
I've pondered the idea of being a professor as well, but
I'm hesitant because of the research and bureaucracy in
the field.
