How do tenured academics in sociology, human geography, or cognate disciplines make extra money on top of basic (teaching) salary, at top universities? I am still junior and I often hear that tenured academics make ++ side money in side gigs, but it is unclear to me what exactly these can be for a social scientist and how they can be accessed? I am aware different geographical contexts may differ considerably, but I'd appreciate views from a variety of contexts for comparison. I often find this sort of know-how to be quite opaque and difficult to access, particularly as I am a first-generation scholar and further to that had a so-called ghost PhD supervisor, so I didn't have much guidance on how to navigate academia smartly. Any experience or tips to make this more transparent would be really appreciated.
