[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t go into academia at this point in time. Salaries are low and the job security is an illusion – I knew multiple people who have been laid off from tenured positions because their institution is in trouble. I would definitely assess the overall financial health of the academic institution before taking 1), if the reason you’re taking it is security. If the reason you’re taking it is because you absolutely love to teach though, go for it.[/quote] You nailed it, I like option 1 for the security and low pressure. I asked some faculty in private after the interview, they told me the university laid off several tenured faculty after some pre-COVID investment failed, but STEM programs are usually safe because that's what keeps the students coming in.[/quote]
