The growth area seems to be academic administration. As I pointed out previously, Stanford is building a new "campus" in Redwood City.[1] It's all administrators. 2700 of them. More administrators than Stanford has faculty. "School of Medicine administration; Stanford Libraries and University Archives; the major administrative units of Business Affairs; Land, Buildings and Real Estate; University Human Resources; Residential & Dining Enterprises; and the Office of Development" will move there. This is in addition to all the administrators and staff back on the main campus.

Don't become a doctor - become a Medical Administrator! It pays better.

Wow... 16,000 students, 2,100 faculty, and 12,100 admin.

If you need evidence that we're in a college/university bubble, that's a pretty good indicator.
