I should become one of those professors. 'White people are bad so you need to suck my D to repent your sins'. Am white, if they point it out Ill say 'white people so bad the worst thing you could do is suck white cock, now lets repent'
Why do you think there are so many PhDs driving cabs ? Everybody and their Uncle Louie wants to be one - but every year the Universities replace tenured profs with low-paid part-time adjuncts.
"Low- paid, part-time adjuncts"...I resemble that remark! (but thanks to some scheduling, I was usually teaching a full course load, just not getting the benefits nor the salary that goes along with it!)
No real regrets; I like to teach my subject and the cost of living/pay ratio isn't bad, especially with time off and being the second income...but hearing tenured profs (and public teachers) piss and moan about only making 50-100K a year with full benefits gets a bit old sometimes. And since the union won't represent me, can I please get an opt out of paying those dues?
It's ok; I'm used to it. I am/was? an academic, an English major no less -- I didn't want to join my uncle's law firm nor work for an alphabet, so I went into teaching (and it gave me access and opportunity to keep studying during my lunch hours, which was an excellent recompense personally if not financially). But by today's standards I'm supposed to be like Professor Numbnuts here; I just refused to read the memo.
Heh, and stating that the "studies" were wrecking the English department was my "strike 3" professionally -- it ruffled some feathers, to put it lightly. So here I am, and here we all are...with English departments that no longer teach English...fml.

Good luck with that dream - unless you are black.

I'm sorry to have accidentally painted you with a broad brush.
I'm gonna assume that you are not teaching gender studies, since you are supporting the Donald. (:-)
