But in academia, the personal stakes are higher: after six or more years of preparatory graduate work, tenure-track professors start in the relatively meager $40,000's.
We know the work tenure norms throughout a typical career (4.6 years) and through each decade of life.
The average work tenure was 4.5 (SD = 4.5) years.
The average age and the mean duration of work tenure were 34 and 8.5 years, respectively.
Demographic data were obtained, which included age, gender, marital status, grade of nursing practice, educational level, working experience and work tenure.
We further excluded 219 participants who had incomplete information on age, gender, and those with work tenure of three months or less, and part-time workers.
Chi-square tests showed that gender, occupation, age and work tenure were not significantly different between the two assessment years (p > 0.05).
We found no significant differences in age between the FDNY-FFs and the TA-FFs (37.4 vs. 36.6 years; p = 0.109, respectively) or their respective fire-fighting work tenure (17.5 vs. 13.5 years; p = 0.399, respectively).
Significant interactions (p < 0.05 for high-past exposure; p < 0.0001 for medium-past exposure) were observed between < 5-year work tenure and high and medium levels of past endotoxin exposure.
The average age of the men and women were 38 and 33 years, respectively, and the mean duration of work tenure was about 4.8 years for both men and women.
