"I'm 30 years old and I've never made 30 thousand a year." Monica Jacobe, who is about to finish her dissertation in American literature, describes her life as a contingent faculty member. In Part 2, she talks about her prospects for an academic job and the sorry state in which previous generations of faculty and administrations have left the profession.

Academic universities depend on intake of college tuition to turn a profit. This profit is finally being reduced by lower student admissions.As full time faculty is valued more, due to "investment" made by the college, part time faculty will continue to suffer doing the "dirty work".Why does anyone believe still that universities are not a business? Not-for-profit?Only in a business model could I find myself making 120,000 a year (206 work days).The Professor (Life is Good)

thanks to University of Phoenix in part for making education a business...there is also corporations that want to hire new grads ranging from 12 - 13 bucks an hour whether they have experience or not

Sad but true story nationwide. A billion a day in Iraq and here it's no child left behind. What a joke.

If you didn't have your head up your ass you would know that my posting response to another dip shit like your self on this video was making that exact point. That 60K a years isn't good money. I would post the individuals comment below I was responding to so you could see how ignorant you are. But apparently the owner of this video did not like the comment I was responding to and had it removed. I went to your channel by the way and saw your pic. Your as a dumb as you look.

Who gives a fuck buddy? NY, New York city, who cares? The fact you think 60K a year is good money is laughable no matter where you live! You couldn't even buy a house on that kind of money! LOL! And anyone who defends Kent Hovind is a fucking retard. Brainwashed is believing in religion and Kent Hovind you sorry fuck.

Your a prime example of why profiling needs to be stopped in this world. I'm in upstate NY dip shit. Not NY City. Try to use your head. 60k is good money up here. Just the fact that you assumed I was from NY city when there are in fact 10 million other New Yorkers in upstate is is a very good indication your brain washed and pay to much attention to the media. Educate yourself with facts. Not with liberal TV media garbage.

If you believe what Kent Hovind says then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. He's in prison for lying and stealing from idiots just like you. And 60K a year isn't big money, especially in NY. You're a peon for that kind of money. Hell, you could make 150K a year driving a taxi! So go back to cleaning that office and quit bothering people with your creationist nonsense.

When you choose academia as your profession, you should know what you're getting into. It's a political nightmare full of inflated egos and cronyism. If you're not one of the "good old girl" network, you're nothing. Hard work doesn't necessarily mean success.
