I always wonder the same thing. With that being said, maybe it's different at private school, but why is everyone getting the impression that admins are overpaid? I've spoken to many, including directors, and they all tell me they could be making way more in industry. Faculty as well. You go on /r/academia , they'll go off on how terrible their pay is.
