There's an interesting article, entitled Millionaire Teachers Next Door, that claims that many college professors are retiring as millionaires, despite their crappy salaries, because of programs that force teachers to save and invest on a regular schedule. The evidence is totally anecdotal, but the point is a good one.

If I ever decide to do something slightly more responsible with my financial training, I might look for a job with TIAA-CREF. They're good guys.
