[quote=Anonymous]Extremely hard to get a tenure track job and becomes less likely every year; there is a glut of people who want to do this and not enough positions, most especially in the humanities. A great majority of people who teach are adjuncts. They make considerably less money and do not get benefits; it’s a good part time gig for someone who is supplementing a spouse’s income or doesn’t need the money. They teach all the basic classes and never know if they are going to get classes until the last minute. There are a few places where this situation is better, but not many. A best case scenario for most is a full time lecturer position with benefits, which is the step below associate/above adjunct. Academic hiring is a whole world to understand beyond this, regarding hiring outside candidates, publication, and much more.[/quote]
