My dad's a professor. He makes a little over $1 million a year ($400k base plus $1000 an hour consulting). It is by no means common to make that as a professor. It's incredibly rare. Most professors barely hit six figures and senior professors may make it up to $150,000/year.
He would never recommend that my brother and I become professors just because he makes a million a year. In fact he actively warned us against doing so.
It's the same story with CPAs. To suggest someone go to grad school and then cite some CFO/CPA that makes $2 million a year as an example is deceptive.

FWIW - I live in a very low paying part of the country and here is the current opening availability from my local recruiter.
