[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Prominent labor historian who pressured his/her grad students to TA for free, because "it will be great for your CV." .[/quote] I teach at a school of gerontology. The director of our program told us he was interviewing "young blood" for an open faculty position and was "relieved the best candidates are all under age 35." Several newly-minted PhDs interviewed for the positions but all were over age 50 and never had a chance at the jobs. Irony and hypocrisy [i]rule[/i] in post-secondary education.[/quote]
